Model wearing Confederate memorial tartan

[Charles H. Kehm]

I was just checking out some kiltmaker's sites. On one of them, there is a picture of a man wearing a kilt in the Confederate memorial tartan. Hr is also wearing a blue jacket. I didn't know that any confredrate troops wore blue.The worst descrepancy is his rifle. The one he is holding has a sporterized synthetic stock. In fact, it appears to be a modern Knight muzzle loader, probably an American Knight in .50 cal. Check it out, it's on the Alexis Malcolm site. Right click on the confererate memorial tartan on the left side of the page.

Hi, Charlie here,
The photo you are referring to was taken to show an Alexis Malcolm 8 yard traditional handmade kilt made from the Confederate Memorial tartan on our website. It was not taken to show a confederate soldier during that era. It happens to be our son in the photo and yes it is the exact weapon you described. By the way, he and his brothers are members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
On a sad note, Chris passed away on 5/28/05 (truly the worst day of our lives) and we miss him everyday.
Cheers,
