I am painting this 1/6th scale bust by Maurice Corry. Could someone help if possible with references for the collars. I have searched for some details and have so far ended confused.

I am looking for the colours for the collar , i have seen some that are all gold .Some with gold lace and the grenade in silver. This is a Crimean war period figure .

I have attached a couple of pics of the work in progress.
