French officers and Chasseurs a Cheval

These fine fellows are from Piano, Kozak and Battle Honours respectively.

They are beautiful prints but I do prefer the separate nature of the Piano offerings.

The Kozak Chasseurs were a gift from my esteemed friend Thomas Mischak. The prints have completely wrong horse furniture that Thomas tried to hide with his superb painting.

I managed to carve them up without damaging his fine work and re painted the sheepskins into something a bit more correct.

The Piano prints include Davout and Lannes. Davout was not at Aspern as he was stranded on the wrong river bank when the bridge was wrecked.

I will use him for another gentleman on the French side .

Lots to do.

Many of us are indebted to Thomas. He has contributed much to Waterloo in 20mm.These are great.Line Chasseurs a Cheval are surely the "poor relations" of French cavalry, with the Dragoons coming a close second. You cannot beat an Imperial Staff group for spectacle

Thank you Mr D.

I must add my thanks to Klaus Hinderks who has provided the Piano prints via Thomas.

I am very grateful indeed.
