Hi!
was there any difference at all in the uniform of the guard horse artillery compared to the horse artillery of the line in the russian army in 1812? |

I could be wrong but I think the horse artillery of the Guard wore a shako with a tall white plume as opposed to the Line horse artillery, who wore helmets link link |

Thanks I saw a pic of a Shako horse guard officer, but wasn't sure if the gunners were similarly attired. |

Acknowledging that we may know the regulations, but the reality may be otherwise, then
The following may be of use

Guard Artillery link Plates are at the following, unfortunately, I am not aware of any colour plates online for this section.
link The sections above may also be available as published books, with colour plates from Amazon (and other sites). Look for Uniforms of Russian army during the Napoleonic war vol.12: Artillery: Foot, Horse and Garrison Artillery (Soldiers, Weapons & Uniforms) |

Know a long time the Horse Artillery guard had shakos but it's finding figures with plumes is the trick. |

Amazing replies, thank you! |

If nothing else my 2nd Foot Guard is getting new guns and the Milifig 2 40 year old figures are looking shabby for a guard unit so going into the stripper. |

At Viking Forge their Hamilton line does have a artillery driver with plume, going to at least use it for my guard horse artillery |

@ 14 bore So your guards are just chocolate box soldiers then not real hardened veterans. |
