Would these be correct for French HHRs? I have looked at the SYW Project site and see little mention of Cuirassier. If not what OG figures would best suit the heavy horse? |

I don't know what you mean by "HHRs", but the OG French Cuirassier is for the 8th Regiment only – Cuirassiers du Roi. It wore a bearskin, and had full front and back cuirasse. This figure carries a full musket, butt down, which is inaccurate. A mess! There is an OG French "Cavalerie legere" figure in tricorn for the other heavy cavalry regiments, and it is a mess as well! It seems to have the cuirasse cloth linings sticking out at the shoulders, but the cuirasse is under the coat, visible in the from only. One must cut this fringe away. GdeP |

HHR Meaning Heavy Horse Age of Valor labels them as such as does the SYW project. |
