Serious Collectors of Civil War Miniatures Demand Accuracy
The point is the fantasy for them. With Civil War miniatures, however, realism is always at a premium. The major civil war toy soldier collectors will actually do historical research to make sure that their miniatures accurately reflect the regiments of the various battalions which served in the Civil War. Civil War replicas are not made for the casual collector in general. People who aren’t serious about it generally don’t get involved. My dad was extremely serious. As a matter of fact, he had one of the best Civil War miniatures collections in town. A lot of his friends were involved in Civil War reenactment, and collected replicas and authentic artifacts from that period of time, but not my dad.
