Always an interesting read and full of useful information and references. |

Thanks, Armand, Dan and DM. I didn't post a link to this series as there is one anomaly in the OG Landwehr figures which is NOT wearing the Litewka! Not sure why they did that… Peter |

Dear Peter
Not all Landwehr wore the Litewka. The 1814 uniform was a simple single breasted Kollet as shown here.

Thanks, Stephen. It seems that a variety of uniforms were used in 1813, especially early on. So the above that means much of the Waterloo campaign Landwehr would have made the transition to the "Cap (schirmuetze) and Kollet". Interesting! |

The order for the introduction of the collet for Landwehr infantry dates from 21 September 1815 (however its planned introduction was announced already in July 1815). The jacket (ending at the hip)was introduced on 29 April 1815, and hardly worn during the 1815 campaign before the occupation of Paris. More details (in German only): link |

They look like maybe they were converted from reserve infantry figures. |

Thanks for putting that right – Oliver – maybe the producer confused the Landwehr with the reserve infantry. |

Those figures are the Old Glory PXI-06 'Reserve Landwehr"
set. They are in the short jacket meant to be Reserve Infantry, but the label is a bit misleading.
OG Ldwr in Litewka is PXI-05 'Silesian Landwehr' |
looks at some new terrain products, which use space age technology!
