thank you for the recommendation Barry, if I may be so bold as to add this image from my book. By Tony Barton, it depicts a musketeer from one of the three Irish regiments that fought with Montrose http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz20/lancslad/tony%20barton%20irish%20musketeer.jpg and a close up ...

Thanks for all this really useful information

Chas

Thanks Tacitus,

was sent an image of a 'Spanish' button, do you think they could resemble something similar to this?

Dear All

could anyone tell me what kind of buttons are on these coats

ball type with shanks?
penny shaped?
with or without shanks?


thanks Chas

Hi Barry, what's happening with the Swedes?
cheers

Chas

Dear All, a couple of questions re the humble Karpus. Was the Karpus a Swedish early version of the service cap, that could be worn alongside the standard issue tricorn hat? or would specific regiments have received the Karpus as an alternative to the tricorn? essentially, can I mix in the odd Karpu...

Hi Barry, Im sure you've been asked loads of times, and I'm likely to be missing the answer on the forum somewere

do we have a release date for the Swedes yet?

Cheers

Chas

Hi Barry, yep I would like to put my name down for this if possible please.
