GNW Grenadier Hats?

[Rogerc]

Hi, anyone got any information on Norwegian Grenadier headwear for Great Northern War? Assuming same as Danes mainly but would like some pointers if possible.

The majority of the Norwegians seem to have worn the Kabuds cap which is similar to the Swedish karpus and Russian Kartuz cap.

There are pictures of them on http://www.tacitus.nu/gnw/armies/denmark/norway.htm

There are only 2 known grenadier caps and it seems likely that most don't have any. The Enlisted regiments had caps like the Danes.The Akerhusiske national regiment grenadiers had like a fringe of bearskin around the edge of the kabuds.

If Reiver have done their homework properly I guess the cap can be seen here:

Yes these grenadiers have the Akerhusiske type hat.
