Here's my best effort at the composition and appearence of the French ordonnance archer c. 1513. By no means this is right but it's my best shot and thanks to contribution by Daniel S (this was a while ago – i'm a slow worker!) link Sorry if this still leaves you puzzled, there aren't many manufacturers out there that give these much thought, I think I now know why ! All the best Stuart |

Very nice work. Like the skirt work and great head swaps. Interesting how Ordonnance Archers went from infantry/mounted infantry to (almost) gendarmes and did not retain their missile capabilities until pistols came along. Would have expected them to go to Mtd Arquebusiers. |
