The other day while sorting out some figures rediscovered some figures that i got off Ebay UK some years back, have tried to identify the uniforms using early Ospreys, Kannik's Uniform's of the World, Grant's Pike & Shot (1st edition), used these as the figures are old Les Higgins WSS, which i think the painter must have used back then, haven't yet looked in Editions Brokaw booklets or Sapherson's ones
So as there a fair number of knowledgeable members out there thought i'd ask
Musketeers in dark blue tunics, white neck cloth, trousers & breeches, one has orange cuffs & collar, other has yellow collar & cuffs
Grenadier in mitre (dark blue, white bag) dark blue tunic, white cuffs, breeches, stockings,neck cloth white
Grenadier in mitre (red with yellow trim around bottom of mitre, green tunic with yellow cuffs, breeches white, stockings red
Musketeers purple coat, one with yellow cuffs, one with red cuffs & breeches, stockings & neck cloth both white, tricorne edged yellow
Musketeer, green coat, cuffs and hat trimmed yellow, trousers red, stockings, neck cloth white
Also found a couple of old Warrior 1690's range
Dismounted Dragoon, light blue coat with white right shoulder knot, cuffs light blue slashed white as is coat, white neck cloth
Pikeman, yellowish coat & breeches, cuffs & stockings light green, white neck cloth, hat trimmed white
Any thoughts, comments , suggestions most welcome
