During the 7YW what color was the canteen carried by Austrian Dragoons? I know the sling is white. Thanks |

I don't recall ever seeing an illustration of an Austrian 7YW cavalryman with a water flask, except for a black & white Ottenfeld print of a hussar, page 33 of Osprey 271, The Austrian Army, 1740-80: Cavalry. It is the same shape as the infantry flask, which shows twice in Osprey 276 for the Infantry. Page C shows a soldier of Deutschmeister, flask on white strap, body a "brownish" light grey, with dark brown straps vertical from the stopper and horizontal. Another flask lies on the ground for Wied, white strap, and same coloring. On page E we see Hungarian Joseph Esterhazy fusilier with gray strap! But otherwise, same coloring. GdeP |

It is round flask with small cross straps. The figures are Crusader's. If no one has a clue, guess i paint it what ever I want. |

"Round flask with small cross-straps" sounds like the "typical" flask seen for the infantry. There is a dark brown start formed as a "Y" around the stopper on top, running vertically down to the bottom of the flask. Another dark brown strap runs from left to fight across the flask. Worn light gray with a hint of brown is all I have ever seen. GdeP |

I entered "Osprey Austrian Infantry, Seven Years War" on the internet, and it brought up dozens of pictures of Austrian troops of all arms of service. I hope this pastes here: link GdeP

Here is an Austrian Dragoon canteen from the very end of the WAS. Unfortunately- the only image I can find on the internet is black and white, but in the original it is natural wood with metal hoops and fittings I believe. link Hope that helps. |
