    Wood, I suppose. Clay pipes would render pure white in collodion photography.

    Hi, I have a request to do to the developers: according to my research I find out that the 39th New York was equipped not with Springfield model 1842 but with the Mississippi 1841 rifle with sword bayonet, this 'cause it made them look more like Italian Bersaglieri, who were inspired by their uniform. For that can you replace the Springfield 1842 with the Mississippi 1841?
    I attach an original picture that shows two soldiers of the "Garibaldi Guard" having the sword bayonet of the Mississippi rifle.

    If you plan on expanding regiments for the picket post map, I'd love to see some Chasseur regiments. The 18th Massachusetts, 62nd Pennsylvania, and 65th New York were all present during the Maryland campaign.

    They were equipped with Chasseur de Vincennes uniforms straight from France with shakos/sidecaps, epaulettes, and huge pants. Now I know the PA regiment had sizing issues where not everything fit, but a mix of regular union issue with pieces of chasseur uniform would be very neat.

    Good thing there's a drill camp to guard, and picket duty to be done now.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Do you have any sources of them still being in such a uniform by September 62? The union (especially) saw a very quick uniformation across the board, getting rid of the early war uniforms.

    Did some digging, don't know if this is usefull

    Lt. Stephen Minot.jpg

    This is a superb Civil War CDV carte de visite dating to 1862 of Lieutenant Stephen Minot Weld, Jr. The albumen photograph shows Weld full length in his uniform. A handwritten inscription on the front lower margin reads S. M. Weld, Jr. On the back another handwritten inscription reads Lieut. S.M. Weld Jr. A.D.C. Gen. F.J. Porter's Staff.
    Stephen Minot Weld, Jr., was a student at Harvard Law School when the Civil War began. He entered the service in Jan. 1862 as a second lieutenant in the 18th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, but was soon promoted to first lieutenant, then captain. In 1862, Weld also became a member of General Fitz John Porter's staff. He also served as lieutenant colonel and then colonel in the 56th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. He fought in many major battles, including the Second Battle of Bull Run, Antietam, and Gettysburg. In 1866, he was brevetted brigadier general.

    Original Civil War Chasseur Pattern Shako Cap. 10,000 Ordered by the War Department in 1861. Then were issued to the 62nd & 83rd Pennsylvania - 18th Massachusetts and the 49th & 72nd New York. Excellent condition with original chin strap

    From the research I have done on this unit. By late 62 most of their fancy uniforms were worn out. by 1862 most of all the fancy uniforms for all regiments were worn out and switched to standard federal blue. Unless you were a Zouave

    What I’ve read about this unit, the Chasseur uniform barely fit Americans due to the smaller size of the French that they were made for. So they went with the reg federal blues. But I wouldn’t mind seeing this uniform in game for diversity.

    I'll pull actual citations when I've time, but i know chasseur uniforms were worn by some regiments into 63. The 62nd didn't put theirs into storage until after Antietam, but they were mainly dress and camp uniforms for those who received correct sizes.

    that's from memory, though so i cant be exact. I'll dig up citations later and confirm one way or the other.

    Hi there!

    Thank you for this. I've passed it on to the regimental researchers of our team.

    From what I've found the 62nd PA packed up their chasseur uniforms January 1862. They were issued in '63 and '64 to other units, so regiments were wearing them somewhere, but that's outside of our timeframe.

    As for the remaining regiments I mentioned, about an hour of googling wasn't able to provide anything specific on time frames for uniform changes. I've seen discussions ranging from late 61 or late 62. Short of reading the regimental histories for each, that's about the most I was able to come up with.

    Like i mentioned before though, all i found says they would wear them around camp
