This is a follow-up to a post on my blog. link I recently bought several Edition Brokaw miniatures, second hand from a gentleman who could not confirm the nationality of these figures. After I posted the photos, I was able to match some miniatures with the EB "generic" type of musketeers, suitable for British, Danish and Austrian. Nevertheless, there are still two lots of miniatures in need of proper identification. Photo included here. picture picture The latter picture seems to show grenadiers in small mitre, and it has been suggested it may be suitable for British. Could anyone confirm? As for the former picture (infantry in tricorn with musket hold at waist in "advancing position"), I am still not quite sure about the attribution.
Any help by WSS uniform experts would be greatly appreciated! DestoFante |

Contact Pat Condray on this site as he still sells them. Great figures, easy to paint and look good in masses. Dan |

The first looks like a musketeer w/o sword and the second appears to be a fusilier, of which the British and Dutch had several regiments. |

Prussian infantry untill about 1706 had an overcoat wore over the waistbelt with sword.
I think these figures with tricornes can be suitable for prussian infantry. Short mitre figures are right for English grenadiers and fusiliers. Claudio |
