"Legere of the 100 days campaign" Topic

Everything I've read (admittedly not exhustive) tells me by the 100 days, equipment was hodge-podge and earlier finery was absent for the most part…

Would the Legere in the 6th and 9th Division been equiped with their swords or by 1812 changes, had most lost theirs?4

If "some" retained theirs, an order should be sent off to whom? – Khurasan? OG? AB?

95%+ of my figures are OG.

Thanks for the input….

By the 1812 regulations the leger regiments should have given up their sabre briquets apart from the carabineer company. The leger were as a much a law unto themselves as the rest of the Army and certainly they were known to ignore the regulations they were not keen on (e.g. fringed epaulettes and sabre briquets for all ranks. I think that there would have been a lot of sabre briquets still kicking around 1812-1814 but I suspect they would have been few and far between for chasseurs and voltigeurs in 1815. However, as the records are not definitive, why not? My personal solution would be to use Perry or OG post 1812 leger flank company figures and carve away the fringes on the epaulette and the tuft on the pom-pom (and the moustache if you have the skills) to make a sabre briquet equipped chasseur.
