De Gallifet 1866 Mexico

[phc35]

I am painting Le Cimier RR13 DeGallifet and the picture in the kit leaves something to be desired as to colors,I have Uinfomes #56 with washed out print of the uniform in the kit,but again the colors are so muted.

What I looking for are the colors of the fringe on the chaps,the brading on the chaps,does the black brading of the coat continue upthe sides under the arms,Is the brading on the sleves gold or just yellow

any help is appreciated

Not much info on the fringe ... But! some interesting museum photos here on his tunic (about 2/3 down the page):

You're welcome!

The chaps and trousers on the figure maybe artistic license, there is no discoverable information I can see –
