Thanks Mors

Forgot to say, the bag on the top of the busby is white too, rather than the more familiar red of British Hussars and Horse Artillery (and Mancha's painted example).

Captain Blood used a rather attractive shade of pink on his ECW Fondling's Horse regiment here:

I'm not normally a fan of pink but this shade is very attractive and might be worth considering for the ladies.

I don't know, I think they look pretty good in your current black.

A shame you've got them earmarked for Prussia, or they could be the Queen's Own Scottish Widows.

Boy, I agonized over the color of that bag. I really wanted yellow because, of course, yellow is a good contrasting color with the blue of the uniform. However, I'd already done the chin strap in NMM gold (ie: yellow), and her hair was already my best attempt at blond (ie: yellow), and I didn't think I could afford any more yellow on the bag. Suckage.

My memory of the color plate in the Vanished Armies book is that the actual uniform jacket is black with white trim, and grey pants. The bag is either white or yellow.

Vanished Armies is my source, as well: Blue pants, black jacket, white lace, furry trim, facings, piping etc. Gold chip straps on the busby, white busby bag.
