I was recently looking at the TAG 28mm TYW Swedish musketeers. Beautiful figures. The only thing that caused me concern was that they are modeled without a musket fork. Is that correct?

Discussion on TMP about this. Looks as if forks pretty well gone in Swedish army by around 1650.

Thanks for the link. I sounds from the discussion that in 1630s the musketeers still used the fork. So I guess the above figures represent a slightly later period. |

Their "German" figures all have rests as do many ranges of "early" ECW figures all of which should be more or less interchangeable. |
