Yep. Strictly speaking it's the HLBS one (got mine from them), but today you can get it from Copplestone.

Those Czechs look fantastic, you've really created a coherent looking force, who's piant job just pops. Very crisp and clean.
Have put my (though not strictly limited to White figures) Copplestone White Russians on hiatus for the mo and gone to work on some Musketeer and Brigade Russians of the period. The Brigade ones are  fine and dandy but the Musketeer ones just pop that little bit more for me. Am going to include some Brigade French shock troops and Harlem Hell fighters to beef out the Brigade shock troops as most of them look a little under equiped for the purpose of their role.
Thing I can't understand even if I've done it myself, is the very (almost vivid) green the Musketeer ones have been painted in web-site pics. I've actually followed suit tbh. This isn't due to historical accuaracy (I've seen not pics with such a bright green uniform) it's just made a nice change after doing so many BoB Russians and Chinese in greys, Khakis' and browns.

Czech assault units were of the usual uniform. Their only differences - as a sleeve insignia shield with the skull. Also stormtroopers wore helmets Russian sample M17 Sohlberg.

Hello ,

  in "The Czech legion 1914-20" by David Bullock, it shows an illustration of a  storm battalion trooper wearing

 a greatcoat , but with red collar patches. Czech legion artillery had red collar patches.

  Did the 1st independent storm battalion have  red collar patches or the infantry  raspberry/violet ?

 Assuming this battalion wore collar patches . They had red sleeve badges .

Nice looking force!

I think you're right, Ken. Judging from the exhibit at the Czech Museum
stormtroopers had raspberry collar patches. But red sleeve badges.



However, in addition, there are actually preserved arm-shields khaki (see photo above).
