Two simple questions about the prussian line grenadiers of the late napoleonic period: - did the grenadiers wear moustaches? - was the cartridge box plate of a different design for grenadiers and musketiers? Thanks for feeding back. |

I was told anecdotally that the revered Calpe, truest father of all Prussia (in 28mm…), does not offer grenadier sculpts because the only difference with the line is the moustaches. I dunno on the cartrige box. Im sure more informed opinions will have better info. |

See here: TMP link TMP link Cartridge plates were to be identical to those of the musketeers, see for example a Wolf & Jügelplate:

Oliver – those are the uniforms I have my Leib regiment in and since the only ones I want to dump them and move them to my Russians |

Thanks to all! Malefic, the point is, by the way, to add moustaches or not to some Calpe's sculpts in order to upgrade them from musketeers to grenadiers … So, a little liquid green stuff and "en avant"! |
