I've searched to no avail. There are figures with Kepis available, but I'd rather not spend $25.00 for a figure just to get the head. Anyone know of a source, or have one lying around? If possible, I'd like one with Lieutenant's braid on it, if that even shows up in 1/35.

Hornet do a set of civil war heads three of which have kepis, They are listed as I/32 but are closer to 1/35.

Thanks for the replies. Both sets look like they'll work. Don't know how I missed the resin ones when I recommended that same site to someone else further down. Now I have a decision - or perhaps not. I'll just get both!

I have a smallish resin 54mm with moustache and goatee, a larger 54 in metal, moustache and goatee and the Dragon heads. None has the braiding so you'd need to do some careful painting. If there's one of these you'd like, drop me a pm and its yours.
