I cannot find any reference regarding artillery teams for the 1813 Leipzig campaign

At least what type of headgear as this is for my 6mm army which consists of 6 foot 1 heavy and 1 horse batteries

Any help appreciated

The Swedes were in a motley state as far as uniforms were concerned in 1813. I believe drivers should have had the corsehut style top hat but a a captured French shako or Russian Kiwer is as likely.

Horse artillery at least wore shakos – they were drilled to ride in line abreast and impersonate a body of cavalry, until they would unlimbered.
