Those are Saxons of 1806 and don't resemble the Saxon Army of 1809 – nice figures – I like the wide cartridge pouch belts. |

This is great. I am also very tempted for later saxons from Westphalia and Calpe (the new range). |

Those are Saxons of 1806 and don't resemble the Saxon Army of 1809 – nice figures – I like the wide cartridge pouch belts. I thought the primary difference between the two was the pack, i.e. in 1806 they carry a side hanging satchel like the Prussians and in 1809 they carry a backpack. Otherwise they don't change over to shako until after the 1809 campaign or maybe it was just before it? Cheers, The Bandit |

The uniform used in 1806 and 1809 was essentially the same. As noted above there was a change in the manner of carrying the backpack to two shoulder straps rather than on a crossbelt. It was 1811, that there was a complete change in the uniform.

The Saxon army changed a bit, there should be upteens threads on this on TMP – including 1000ands of photos of the 1809 Saxon army ;-))). 1806 – hip pack – 1809 back pack
1806 – waitsbelt with sword – 1809 shoulder belt, so cross belts
1806 open lapels – 1809 hooked down as much as possible to create the immage of a straight lapel (but couldn't be fully closed to the waist.
1809 field trousers
1806 field trousers and Kittel (kind of frock coat) worn over the uniform. |
