On thier right hips. What are they ? Are the historically correct? They aren´t sword knots and the fig on the right hasn´t got a cummerbund.

The figure on the right might be an Aide de Camp to Marechal Soult, drawn from the Second French Hussars. Might the brown "blob" be meant to depict a leather pouch, or water flask? The tassel on the General de ?Division? (light blue lines for brigade, red for division, white for corp commander?) might be the end of the gilded sash wrapped around his waist. GdeP |

As Garde de Paris wrote, the one on the right is strange …. even a tobacco pouch would typically get tied off to the sword belt on the left. Do you have a photo of that figure from the front ? From Bardin (earlier were similar) …. maréchal
général de division
général de brigade

photo from the front
The tassel on the left fig makes sense as the end of the gilded sash, thanks. Unpainted versions from PSR
PSR reckon the one on the right is an aide-de-camp link |

It is a case for his telescope. The dragoon has one too I love le Breton's pictures of the sashes |

I especially like the figure on the right: Etienne d'Audubon, the father of French birdwatching! GdeP |
