Are you refering to the drums here? In that case, Nafziger shoes a lint infantry drummer, regt unspecified, 1810-1813, and the drum body is painted red with a white Polish eagle upon it, while the rims have medium blue and white triangles on them, blue (pointing down) on the top of the rims, and white (pointing up) on the bottom of the rims. The text if the book (Poles and Daxins of the Napoleonic Wars) offers no further information. Peter |

You're welcome; Poles and Saxons of course – smart phones not great for lengthy text! |
