Rogers Rangers

Hi Planeteers

I am currently painting a 54mm Rogers Rangers figure (1753-1760) and can't seem to find any reference for the piping on the cuff area. The main uniform is green with silver buttons, so I am persuming the cuff detail is either green or red. Can anybody help please.

Cheers Steve Walks

Hi Steve,

I believe the rangers uniforms had green details on the cuffs. I know that it was not red

They were either plain green, or green with white piping depending on the uniform. Osprey has a good reference on Colonial Rangers. Gary Dombrowski will hopefully chime in, he has several good references on RR's.

Steve, the cuffs are green. Silver or white lace or piping would if at all be worn only by officers given the nature of their duties.~Gary
