My messmates and I are wanting to do a pioneer impression and we are having a little trouble in finding out solid documentation on their insignia. In Troiani's latest book, he shows a picture of a pioneer w/ an arm band that has yellow crossed axes on the sleeve. Lord's encyclopedia has a description of the arm band that states thet the axes should be of the same color and material as the edge of the collar. Pat Brown's sack coat book has a picture of a pioneer wearing two crossed picks on each arm.
We would just like some solid evidence of a good insignia that would be appropriate for an Army of the Cumberlasd impression. I know that the painting that Troiani is supposed to be an AOC soldier, but the yellow axes just seem odd to me. I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this subject. Also, any books on websites that could be suggested would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Adam Dickerson
