I am trying to find some Napoleonic or mid-19th century cavalry wearing a busby with bag but without the pelisse (specifically in 10mm). The reason is because I'm trying to find a figure that can serve as a proxy for the Mexican Mounted Rifles in the Mexican American War. Thanks in advance for suggestions! |

I think Prussian hussars for the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War had discarded the pelisse. Grelber |

Some French chasseur a cheval regiments had their elite companies in kolpacks and did not wear hussar-style dress. |

I can't think of any that come uniformed as you want, but if you are prepared to swap heads, you could probably use early British Light Dragoons with hussar or Guard Chasseur heads. You'd then have a frogged hussar jacket, but no pelisse and the colpack type of headwear. I've never handled 10mm so I don't know how feasible this is in the smallish scale. |

What Brechtel198 said, the 1870 French CaCheval figs from Penfraken will do nicely. |
