1. Were the collar/ cuff colors differentiated by regiment or standard across the army? If the latter, were they all red? 2. Did the infantry coats have turnbacks with colors matching the cuffs/collars? 3. Did the color of pom poms on the shako differ by regiment or were they standard? If the latter, were they all red? Thank you. |

2. All red.

The pompons varied by battalion, not company. |

"The pompons varied by battalion, not company." Yes, of cource. Sorry! Typing error.
All musketeers in same battalion haved the same pompons.
Grenadiers and shooters haved different ones. |

I'm not sure what the "Blunders" blog used for a source, but please reference either the Gingerich link I posted above, or alternately, Leonov, O., S. Popov, A. Kibovsky. Армия Александра I. пехота, артиллерия, инженеры.. 2013, p.194 for 1812. |

There is information ( can't locate at the moment) that states that the 3rd battalion's pom pom was with red instead blue, still as of 1812. It would also clarify what the grenadier color's were for that 3rd battalion. MG |

 Yes, please check the sources I indicated.

This one was not the primary and solid source but had gotten the discussion rolling regarding which color was still in place in the 1812 campaign:

Then a fine Russian gentlemen posted, who presented information that supported what this excellent site presents and support to that it was still in place during 1812 ( scroll down to "Divisional Period"-"Battalion and Company Colors"-also scroll down to the guards), before he was chased away by some TMPers. Unfortunately, I cannot find the link to that post or the author's call name to search properly.: link
