Duchy of Warsaw had notorious financial problems, breaking the uniform regulations came from lack of funds. Equipping eagle guard wasn't cheap. In addition, there was no regulation about eagle guards armed with halberds in Polish regiments, and it is confirmed in the memories from the period. In practice, eagle guard was formed from grenadiers, equipped as rest of the grenadier company. I also wouldn't belive sketches, even from early 19th century- there are full of mistakes. Even Knotel isn't good.<br />I know these are toys, but let's face it- historical accuracy is important for many wargamers and if we do something, let's do it well ;) Soon I'll buy Your miniatures anyway- they are beautiful, but I woudn't use eagle guards as it's for sure historically incorrect ;)Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198040049458669704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497942556798040949.post-3085655338547483292013-11-06T16:11:15.983+00:002013-11-06T16:11:15.983+00:00Sorry, forgot to add..........most French regiment...Sorry, forgot to add..........most French regiments the officers were meant to wear bicorns as well...............they didnt.

Ive also seen sketches of Polish officers wearing czapka and an eagle guard. So, as these are toys lets face it, I am happy to field both eagle guards and officers in czapka.RTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620074647967436211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497942556798040949.post-62133513473774461342013-11-06T13:05:02.720+00:002013-11-06T13:05:02.720+00:00No problem.

Nice work but I have one notice: in Duchy of Warsaw's army there were no eagle guards with halberds, and officers didn't wear czapka, but bicorns. Otherwise- very nice painting ;)Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198040049458669704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497942556798040949.post-22048163180940877402013-11-06T09:09:29.118+00:002013-11-06T09:09:29.118+00:00Dear Bayard 5; can you please repost your comment ...Dear Bayard 5; can you please repost your comment as I went to reply to it and pressed the delete button by mistake.
