What uniform did Prussian jaegers have in 1809? And who makes the figures in 25/28mm? |

That would have been after the changeover of uniforms from the 1806 ones. They would have worn the regular Prussian uniform, but in green. |

Thanks guys. I just need to find suitable figures now. |

Do you think those plumes were an early form of camouflage? The officer looks like he's trying to hide under a bush. |

Dear Fred
You will find more details in Stephen Summerfield (2009) Prussian Infantry 1808-40, Volume II, Partizan Press
link The range of a musket was barely 200 paces and a rifle double that. Colour is lost at about 1/4 mile in any case. The depictions are parade dress. Shako covers were worn on campaign. Stephen Stephen |
