Generaly reenactors looks like that:


But that is for 1830 - I dont know if there was any change before 1831

I will be seeing a guy who used to reenact artilery unit from 1830 and will ask him.

That has been a great help as it was the shade of Green of the tunic I was most after.

Thank you,

Geoff

Canons were similar tu russians

I've asked about specifics and photos, but my sources are at wargaming convention till tommorow (and probably actually now playing new Ostrołęka 1831 boardgame that premiered today)
Edit:

Russian 1805 system. Mainly 6 and 12 pounders
