Any suggestions with pics if possible? I have AB and Blue Moon figs they'll need to blend with. Cheers Mark |

IIFC the Saxon garde wore the Austrian style bearskin, as did their Saxon line grenadiers(prior to the installment of the 1810 regulations change to shakos) cousins.
The OG15s line has, to me, the best version and I use them with my BH/AB/OG Fig collection with out issue.
see this link that gives an idea of what they look like: link Good Luck MG |

If it's the later Saxons, AB do a grenadier which may do. link For earlier period, might be worth looking at some SYW or AWI ranges. |

This is from Knoetel, 1890's. In 15mm, it appears the French Old Guard grenadiers might work well for the body of the figure, with the lapels closed to the waist, and with some cutting away of the French bearskin. Perhaps someone else might have a better picture of the bearskin? GdeP |

link This shows the Guard grenadier in shako, as above. Probably white overalls. This is for 1813-1815. No luck with the bearskin. GdeP |
