Hi, did the baden dragoons have a pointed or square saddlecloth, or did it change from one to the other between 1809 and 1813? |

Were the 2nd dragoons a redesignation or a seperate unit? |

As above, pointed in 1809: link In 1809, there was just one regiment of 4 squadrons plus depot. |

2nd were raised in 1813 after the Russian campaign, the Hussars were never raised again after the 1812 campaign. Cheers
