        Patrick,

        On page 13 of A Confederate Sketchbook is a detailed, measured examination of the kepi worn by Robert William Royall, 1st Co., Richmond Howitzers. The kepi is in the Museum of the Confederacy. You can make yourself an authentic kepi from this original source.

        Hope this is helpful.

          Thank you all for responding! I purchased the Confederate Sketchbook and plan on setting up an appointment with the MOC shortly to take a look at the Royall kepi in person. Post number 5 does have some great information and I plan on doing my own research before attempting to put together a kepi for myself.

          Thank you,
