"New French Army artillery 1792 uniform" Topic

I am starting French and Austrian Armies for around 1800. I am interested in the French in Bicorne uniforms and have been trying to find out when the French artillery change to shakos. I really like the uniforms from 1792, but can not find images for the French around 1800. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks,

Matthew

French foot artillery wore the bicorne until 1807, when the first pattern foot artillery shako was issued – so in 1800 French gunners would still be in bicornes

Hope this is helpful

And Consulate, and early Empire.
True '1792' uniforms for anything wouldn't be correct, given the 8 years of turmoil and reorganisation in between.

Way, way later, for artillerie à pied.
A cheval/ legere- well Brunons and others have them in shakoes á la hussard, believe well into early Revolutionary period of play.

My 1805 foot haven't yet fielded a shako, tho I'm considering (rebel that I am) a representative one in a slightly non-conforming unit and formation.

French foot artillery wore the hat (not a bicorne) it still had a tip at the front.

As for Austrian artillery not so easy, there conflicting sources between the hat and the Korsehut exist.

French horse artillery however would wear the mirliton at this time period.

The French horse artillery arm wore both a mirliton-type shako, usually with the plume on the left side. They also wore a fur-crested helmet such as that worn by the chasseurs a cheval. Dragoon-type brass helmets were also worn.

The French foot artillery also wore the fur-crested helmet along with the older tricorne hat, sometimes with a red, falling-down plume.

The artillery detachment of Napoleon's Guides wore the bicorne.

This was during the period 1792-1800.

Ca 1802, the horse artillery wore a shako with the plume mounted in the front.

The newly-organized artillery train wore the bicorne.

Yes I agree of course the 'tarleton' style helmet saw much use among diverse corps.
Maybe in '92. Yet never seen a depiction c'96/ 1800 that had anything but chapeaux.

Thank you everyone. That does give me the start I was looking for.

To be comprehensive, Eureka produce all three headgears___ and in multiple styles, so more than 3…
