I'm trying to find details on the color scheme for a Hussar from the reign of Naples (~1815-1820). The Hussars were part of the Guards for Internal Security (guards formed in 1813, cavalry added in 1815). The figure on the box has a light blue uniform with silver trim and a red pelisse. But I haven't been able to find any reference for that uniform or any uniform. Can anyone help me out and point me towards some good reference material? Thanks! |

Scroll down on this page, about halfway down you will find images of the Hussars in mention. I think this might be the unit you are looking for.
They are the "Guards de Securite de Naples 1813-15".
Uniform: Breeches and dolmann skyblue with silver/white lace and trimming. Barrellsash white/scarlett. Pelisse Scarlett(or crimson) with white lace and light brown fur. Shako skyblue with green dropping plume and silver top-band.
Fantastic looking uniforms (to be expected with Murat as their boss;).
(BTW: their uniform looks very similar to Duchy of Warsaw ADC`s, I think) link Regards

Thanks for the references, everyone. Dr Jeckyll, yes, that's the one that matches the box art. Nice to have some other reference to back up those choices. Thank you! |

Have purchased the Henk Toorenvilet book referenced above and found it very interesting, if a little expensive. |
