This is toy soldier - Continental Line/1st American Regiment Charging No.1, 1777-87

In 1779, new uniform regulations were published in an attempt to standardize the dress of the Continental Army. This Continental Line/1st American Regiment Charging No.1, 1777-87 is a representation of the uniform worn during this time period. The uniform was described as blue with white facings for the New England states, red for the Mid-Atlantic states, and blue for the southern states. Musicians continued to wear uniform coats in reverse colors.

In 1782, the army simplified their supply by making blue coats faced with red the standard for the entire army. When the army was reduced to one regiment in 1783, surplus clothing was used until supplies were exhausted. The first real modification to the coats occurred after 1787 when new coats were produced with a small standing collar, changing from the old style falling collar.
