I was under the impression they were metal figures, painted here as the Battalion Towarczys (5 squadrons) and not the regiment Towarczys (10 squadrons)- both formed the Towarczy corps – unfortunatly here all are painteds as NCOs, for more see TMP link |

They are metal figures. Is the difference between NCO and the others the plume colour? Should it be with black tip for the NCO the rest only white? |

@Roediwest Take your time and follow the link I provided above, it starts with Prussian Dragoons but soon in delves into the Towarcys and you will find a wealth of information |

@von Winterfeldt I already took time to follow the link.
Maybe I misunderstood something.
Therefore please be so kind to tell me why all figures are painted as NCO's. I think the problem is the sculting of the figures.
All figures wear sabretaches, therefore could not be officers.
But the two figures without lance have a visor on their tschako.
The two figures without Lance carry pistols all other are equipped with carabiniers. |

The two figures with the visor are officers. The other simply rank and file. @Winterfeldt – I read your excellent article, but I can't really find a fault here. The guy who painted the figures is Peter Schuchhardt who studies uniformology and is creating colourplates himself at compagnie-d-elite.de/.
I am sure he would apreciate some help if there is a mistake in the painting. cheers

to answer shortly, in case I can trust my eyes all plumes are painted white and black, this colour was usually reserved for NCOs, Edelmänner or Carabiniers (which carried a carabine and no lance)- the officers plume had the same colour but a different shape. The usual Towarzcy had a white plume. |
| The Bavarian | 25 Apr 2014 1:13 p.m. PST |
true, but NCO's would have a piping as usual on the collar. So let us agree they are all Edelmänner? You are right, the usual Towarzcy had the white plume.
Officer's had a bigger plum with white over black. cheers
