"After reading the (to me) fascinating controversies here, I must tell everyone that Dad was a STICKLER about accuracy. I guarantee he took no artistic license with the color, guns, caps etc. As I mentioned in my just-previous E-mail, when doing historical commisions much later in life, he would get permission to inspect inside the seams of historical uniforms to see the unfaded (or less-faded) color of the original cloth.
