Great Stuff PoE!
Thanks for sharing!
I just wonder about the line infantry going to the blue from the Red, for the 3rd battalion PoM-PoM (when the Kiwer shako was introduced) IIRC? There was quite a discussion about that in the TMP ( I can't locate the link at the moment).
I wonder what the final decision has been for those with Russian armies with the 1812 Kiwer shako or that of the authors of the material you have in the link? MG |

The 1812 Kiwer shako became more and more common in 1813-14. The old shako is still shown in mid 1814 drawings of Suhr and Elberfelder. By Borodino with the shortening of logistics, they would have become more common. Remember the Imperial Guard would have got these first.

I wonder what the final decision has been for those with Russian armies regarding the blue Pom-Pom for the 3rd battalions (typically with the issued kiwer IIRC) or that of the author's material you have in the link with… still retaining the red until after the fall of Paris?
