FPW 1870-71: Prussian inf 'pointy' end collars

[LondonPete51]

Good Afternoon folks,

Currently painting some Pendraken Prussian infantry which seem to be coming on a treat!

However, I have noticed that they seem to be sporting collars with pointed ends (sorry but have forgotten the official term for this collar type! ). I think the overcoat had this type of collar but reference books appear to show rounded collars for the actual uniform?

Am I getting this wrong?

Really?
I've never noticed that detail before, but then I tend to block the collers in anyway!

Never noticed. Sure you haven't got 28s?
