Yellow facings with red piping, and red collars, plus silver buttons on the officer and white lace on the drummer make this Fusilier Regiment Nr. 10 Junker. Gold buttons on the officer and harder to paint yellow lace on the drummer would have made them Fusilier Regiment Nr 9 Graf von Isenburg.
Look at me getting all detailed about regimental distinctions. But the yellow facings are pretty "slapping," as the youngsters say.
This completes Phase 1 of my Big Plan. Vorwarts to Phase 3! Prost!
Very nice figures - I have had the "cut off a bit of flag to fit round the hand" issue myself occasionally! Really like the last image - I think I remember this lovely Fraulein from my trips to the Oktoberfest in 1979/80 ish - she is about all I CAN remember though - lots of Steins drunk along with copious glasses of Apfelkorn and singing the original version of the "Birdy Song" - "Ein prosit, ein prosit, die Gemudlichkeit!"
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the Bavarians! After listening to the latest podcast I understand better the yellow facings too! :)
