I guess in the end, it'll be good to do my due diligence when it comes to this sort of research. It's a shame that I can't trust all of the Halper material as I did when I first purchased those catalogs (I was a bit too young when the auctions themselves came around). All that glitters is not gold?
The question is, when will Okkonen do a book on 19th century uniforms? 
Thanks again,

A book on 19th century uniforms would be impossible I think...it's more of a guessing game. My mother makes folk art style baseball player dolls for me and has made a few 19th century players. I always have to tell her what the uniform colors should look like and I just go by any period color lithography that I can find.
