I am planning forces for the Swedish "Great sortie" from Stralsund April 1, 1807. The Swedish National Regiments are rather stright forward but I have not found suitable figures for the Rügen/Stralsund Landwehr (not sure this image is a perfect representation as they were described having some sort of Litewka and a top hat with black crest and white plume):

and the Swedish(recruited Germans) Engelbrecht Regiment

I considered using Perry Napoleonic 1806 Saxons for the Engelbrecht Reg but I am not sure it is the best representation…

Grateful for any help!

Would early Spanish be any better?

79thPA, thanks for your comment!
The Spanish are similar but they have "closed" lapels in the front which put them one detail behind the Saxons :)

I assume your looking for 28mm?

Travellera01 Aug 2022 10:29 p.m. PST

Correct!

I'm thinking 1806 Saxons are the closest you'll get

Dear Travellera, sorry for ressurrecting the thread, but what is the source that describes the uniform of the Rügen/Stralsund Landwehr?
