What was the idea behind
giving a cartridge pouch to a fifer ?
-
When I started the figure I had every intention of doing it dressed as on the parade ground. However after further research I decided to go with campaign mode, hence the Scarf, Fingerless mittens and Blanket roll.
In regard to the cartridge pouch, I thought it was reasonable to assume that even a Fifer would be called on to fight.

It appears that a fifer could wear a fife case (small leather tube) in place of a cartridge case which would be a very easy change or one could assume Ken's logic which is pretty reasonable as well.
Regardless pretty cool figure for a very colorful time period.

I did not want to question Ken's figure !
I just searched for clarification
