For those of you into this kind of button counting.... Light or dark braid?
Need to push through these characters and casualties and get back to some easier to paint line troops! My speed paint is not so speedy these days...

I thought it was dark, which makes the silver buttons stand out. Silver would look rather fine.

And we all know how historically accurate that show was.

Primary source, like BoB, ABTF, and Zulu.

The braid was definitely black, with silver buttons. That also goes for the lace on the cuffs and collar - the rank & file had white lace tape edges, but officers had black.

I certainly don't want to start a tmp-style argument with you, Grizz, but could you define what you think the primary sauces are?
I'd certainly insist on Bernaise.
And BTW did you cite ABBA in your last post?
