Would the Perry Polish/Dutch Lancers work as Lancers of Berg with the appropriate paintjob? FM |

I should think so – they're earlier uniform was white with rose facings and that funky hat, IIRC. (As you can tell I'm an Xpert!) ;-) Mine are Foundry, bought from a professional painter on eBay so they must be right! ;-) |

no too much guard aigulette thing going on
you have simpler epaulete with fringes for the Berg fellows
or according to knotel, no fringes at all
or
all in link
and finally linkPoles are all bit too complex
now a unit to do would be..the Red Lancers of Hamburg

FYI the early (1807-1808) Berg cavalry regiment was a Chevau-Légers regiment equipped with swords, not Lances. The mistake will often be to represent the Berg cavalry as lanciers in the white and amaranth uniform, which never occured. Iannick

Yes but they would look so cool as lancers. |

I thought the polish guard lancers received their lances also after the 1809 campaign |
