Fusilier Regiment von Knyphausen 1776

[B6BosGO]

Uniforms of the Hessian and Brunswick regiments during the American Revolution are a confusing topic.  There is much misinformation and contradictory materials out there.  The contemporary watercolors of the regiments often published are from a slightly later time after the war and may include changes done after the war.  So those of us who paint these fine fellows must do our research and make our best guess.   During the course of painting these fine fellows i have had to repaint numerous details over when new information became available.    If I have made a error in the uniforms I beg your pardon.

The regiment had blue coats with black lapels, collar and cuffs.  Officers lace was gold.   The Fusilier caps  are based on original caps worn by the regiment.  Drummers are based on information from the end of the Seven Years War.  Drums at that time for this regiment were brass with white cords and Drum rims were black and white diagonal strips.  Regimental colors are from GMB and beautiful little works of art they are. Miniatures are from Minden Miniatures who also do the Fife and Drum range.

Good work and an excellent read with nice Research. I must admit that I prefer Perry over Minden miniatures but it’s a fine looking regiment you have there.

An excellent write up on your blog , I enjoy these potted histories. I like the Minden figures , they are particularly suitable for the SYW as used by Charles Grant Jnr. in his books.

Thank you for the kind words.  As a long time American Rev War games we are embarrassed by a richness of incredible figures.  Perry figures are excellent, it's just I like the Fife and Drum/Minden
