Small nappy uniform question

Posted by Bendy_Straw on 22 Dec 2021, 11:02

What are the colours of the small tussel on the cartridge boxes of the french foot artillery, chasseurs, voltigeurs, and old guard? I'm working on zvezda sets and I never encountered this before, I didn't know cartridge boxes had tussels, and I can't even found any depictions of them. Thank you.

Hello,
this is not a tassel on the cartage box, but (I think) a rolled "Bonnet De Police" tucked beneath.
I don't know the correct colors, but this should help you find the info you need.

I had the same question so thanks. Makes sense. I know the Old Guard Grenadiers had red as did the Foot artillery.

Yes that's true. From what I see chasseurs also had red and voltigeurs had yellow
