That's correct!

Nice additions!!

An interesting ribbed wool example

They have some nice pieces being offered; a couple of my friends generally attend in person. Some great firearms as well, especially the earlier 19th Century pieces which I collect.

Great examples Steve!

Great tunic Steve!

The wool backing looks non-era. The gilding doesn't look right either. Let's see the reverse with the plate and pins.

Good question Steve...

Just curious, has anyone encountered a badge on a uniform without a date? I haven't...

That's a great Pickelhaube! And a very informative discussion. 👍

The M41 and M62 are 2 different rifles, with 2 different front ends, and 2 different ways of mounting a bayonet. Here's one of each of mine.

That reproduction, based on the photos, is not for a M1862 but rather for a M1841. The 2 rods are completely different.
