I'm trying to find some 15mm Austrian/Hungarian Hussars suitable for the War of the Spanish Succession. According to my sources, they wore the pelisse. But the only figures I have found so far do not have the pelisse. Does anyone know of a suitable hussar figure for the early 1700s? Thanks. |

I don't think the French have any Hussars and the Austrian Hussars are missing the pelisse (as best I can tell from the photos). |

Are you sure that the "pelisse" as we think of it later was worn in this period? Seem a a couple of pictures online that suggest jacket was worn conventionally around 1700. Perhaps the image we have of hussars comes from Marie-Theresa's proposal for hussar uniform 40 years later? The Lancashire Games figure looks right to me ( although not sure it's one of their best sculpts)
Eureka have a Catalonian hussar that might fit the bill, in their WSS range. link |

They might not be exactly what you're looking for Robert, but MiniatureFigurines has a 7YW Russian Hussar wearing the pelisse. The problem might be the mirliton and the flame but I'm not an expert on the WSS. Link:
link Go down to code '39VC' – Russian Hussars Command (Wearing Pelisse) Also, I believe that Irregular has a hussar in the busby that are wearing the pelisse but I may have forgotten wrong. |
