Vistula Infantry Regiments
« on: 27 March 2025, 07:58:58 PM »
A quick question I haven't found an answer to yet. Do the infantrymen of this Legion in Spain wear a chapka or a shako as headgear? Thank you for your answers.  ;)

I think the Vistula Legion infantry had French style shakos with sunburst plate.

Although some grenadiers may have used the chapka.

Thanks for the information, because some plates depicting uniforms show the chapka for one period, and then the shako for another. That's why I wanted to have much more precise information.  ;)
