Hello,
could one of you kind souls give me an idea which
nationality used which grenadier cap? Here is a pic of the Warlord WSS sprue

picture

I see 7 caps. 3 top row, 1 a bit down and 3 on bottom.

Hard to guess given the size of the picture, but at a first sight I'd figure out that the two tall bearskin-like ones at the top are seemingly Austro-German, while the third one could be a Bourbon Spanish cap (does it have a horizontal bearskin-like fringe at its base? If so, it is Two Crowns' Spanish for sure).

As for those other three at bottom, I would use them for British – for protestant regiments the tall mitre-style ones, and for catholic units the lower one; alternatively, this latter could also be used for Austro-Catalans.

As stated above, it's just an interpretation.

Cheers,
