GRAND-TACTICAL NAPOLEONIC WARFARE IN MINIATURE

This figure depicts a Hungarian line infantryman circa 1809 and after. The main feature which separates his uniform from the earlier version is the large double-peaked shako, which has the national cockade (brass, usually painted yellow with a black center) and on the top edge, a yellow and black pom-pom. His dark blue facings (collar, cuffs and turnbacks) and white buttons indicate he is from the 33rd Colloredo Regiment. All Hungarian regiments wore the light blue pantaloons (pants) shown on this figure. The pants had two yellow and black Hugarian knots on the front, and a strip of yellow and black braid up the side.

This figure shows the most common appearance for German Austrian line infantry between 1798 and 1805 (and as late as 1809). The helmet seen here replaced the earlier "casquet" headgear, and included a brass front plate, black wool crest with a yellow stripe along the side and a black chinstrap secured by brass bosses. His grey facings and white buttons indicate he is from the 49th Graf Pellegrini Regiment.

This figure portrays a typcial pre-1798 German Austrian infantryman, with tall black gaiters, large turnbacks, and the old fashioned "casquet" headgear. He also still wears his hair powdered light grey with curls above the ears, and queued (braided) down the back. His yellow facings and white buttons show that he is from the 41st FM Baron Bender Regiment, which was German (specifically Galician) in origin.
