Were Austrian/German foot still using musket rest in 1683, or is that meant to be a swine-feather? Whatever the case – I think the infantry would have more useful without it. |

It's a walking stick. Those hills to the west of town can get steep, you know… :) |

there was a discussion and the sculptor seems to have thought the swinefeather used by the saxons was a musket rest….. swinefeather was only widely used by the saxons, cuz the rest of the forces still had stands of pikes, but it was used here and there by other imperial musketeers too… problem is, as a swinefeather it's not right either. it should have a big spike on the end, and it should be sticking out at an angle like a stake. swinefeather serves no purpose if its sticking straight up!!! so i think the muskets, which were the bulk of the infantry in the army, are just not right for the period…. also description is wrong, its not a new range, it's a new force for an existing range…… |

The Bavarians used swine feathers after 1686, when they got rid of their pikes; they also carried wooden beams in their baggage wagons to use the "feathers" to create cheveaux-de-frise". |
