Hi
They seem the inspiration for the old Airfix Waterloo Prussian Landwehr, isn't it?

A nice representation, though I'd personally put more colour into the cow hide backpack :) But again, I'm not an expert in 18th century cows…or the 18th century…or cows in general…. And yes, the Airfix Landwehr do look a lot like them |

Due to problems with supplies and money, some/many/most/? backpacks of the Silesian Landwehr were made from stiff and thick linen, thence the pale colour. Of course these linen backpacks weren't very durable and got wasted already during the 1813 autumn campaign. |
