When ever I go the the Michigan Military Heritage Museum they let me in free because I am a veteran. So when I visit I try to purchase something or put a donation in their donation jar. I have ended up with a few of these Tin Kurtz uniform plates which Kurtz signed and donated to the museum to sell. This one is enlargement taken from a larger art work. It shows the Confederate 1st Missouri at Pea Ridge.
This is a basically a fun uniform plate, but I have to wonder how accurate it is. He wears a white shirt, dark vest, and black trousers. So step one is for me to find out what the 1st Missouri wore at Pea Ridge. The solder in the image appear to wear one bayonet on a belt over his shoulder and a second bayonet on his right side on a waist belt
Should I just keep this uniform plate as a fun uniform plate?
