Hi... Picked a tough one huh? I have some photos of the 28 you're modelling
, but never saw any specific references as to the colors. Appears to be white,
or some light color, and possibly two (or one) other color for the markings on
the snake.
After looking at the snake, it appears to be VERY similar to several or the
old Massachusetts "Don't Tread on me Designs" . Maybe something to that!?!
All main ribs were stiched. False ribs were not stiched. Every photo I have
seen of that period clear enough to show the knot patterns appears to be
uniform throughout.
