K&C Diorama

[DixieRifles]

A local lady has an excellent photo of her ancestor in the early uniform of the 17 Mississippi Regt. So I have a great resource. The hat looked more like a British Marine wore in early 1800's.

I just saw a post of the uniform and hat worn by a member of the 15th Mississippi Regiment.
This is Charles C. Frierson who was the color guard killed at Battle of Franklin---of course this is an earlier photo.

Note the "cowboy" style hat that matches the hat in the resin figure I bought. The braid has a distinctive "V" shape and are spaced far apart. Appears to have Red cuffs but not Red collar.
I can't tell if his jacket is short or reaches below his belt.

I'm assuming he's sitting for his photo and the jacket ends below his waist. But even if he stood, I don't think the jacket would rise that much.

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

I may have to check out the K&C figures. My buddy directed me to a figure I'm really interested in.
This would pass for the early uniform of the 17th Mississippi Regiment.

As has been said, this early war representation of a Mississippi Regulation uniform is not rare.
But I did find another illustration that may be familiar to many, but was new to me.

It looks like a page from an Osprey booklet, but there was no source that I could find ... only a link I included below the image.

It does look like an Osprey print.
I would think it would be pretty easy to modify an Iron brigade figure, (if they were wearing a frock coat) to fit your need for a Mississippi figure. Maybe nothing more than some thin lead cut into strips for the front of the jacket and buttons and patch box on the Miss. Rifle. You would probably want to cut the rifle down so it's the same length as the Miss. too.
