Hi,
I recently bought this figure from DF Militay Figures/ I am looking at the various uniform for this model but am lost. Searching the internet provides me with a ton of empress dragoons but not what i am looking for.
The figure is sold as an Italian "Dragoon sapper" and a found the illustration the painter used as a reference:
The illustration (right) claims that this is a Neapolitan dragoon sapper but looking at the Napoleonic Neapolitan regiments i can't find a dragoon regiment. Als, the poleaxe suggests a porte-aigle, not a sapper? (my knowledge is limited so perhaps i am wrong)
does anybody knows the correct identification of this figure? And perhaps have some reference illustrations?
Thanks in advance!
