Taking requests on colorization

sometimes even a badge and your photo ID won't get you access.
my cousin is a USMC vet who belonged to reagans back up team for AF1
i can recall how he was recruited by the SS, FBI and the NJSP shortly before he left the corp... he told all of them, no thanks i just want to be a cop in my own home town. he is currently the chief with a few more years until he retires.
man, and he's my baby cousin..... i KNOW i'm old for sure. :frown:

Not trying to be critical, but should the NCO stripes be blue as they are the 23rd OVI (Ohio Volunteer Infantry)? I am color blind, so my color identification may be off as they look yellow or gold to me.

By the way ... love the photos and the work, please do keep it up!

They are in fact yellow. Were they blue?
 
Found an HQ image of Edmund Kirby Smith which includes his cuffs/bracer portions.

Yes, NCO chevrons are in the color of their 'military arm,' yellow-cavalry; red-artillery; sky blue - infantry. (Both Armies followed this color code)
