Dark clothing, a tall plume and a yellow saddle covering give this British light dragoon an identity distinct from the red-coated heavy cavalry. The 1795 date belongs to the Revolutionary wars, before Waterloo’s familiar uniforms.
Two large drums transform the outline of this mounted Mameluke. The pale horse, patterned drum coverings and raised sticks give the Del Prado figure a ceremonial character that stands apart from sabre-wielding cavalry.
A red coat, pale breeches and a dark crested helmet give this Danish dragoon a striking profile. His 1813 setting leads away from the usual French and British cavalry subjects and into Schleswig-Holstein.
The tall blue standard is the centre of this Del Prado composition. A red-coated rider and moving brown horse support it, turning a single mounted figure into a natural focal point for a cavalry display.
A long lance and dark mounted uniform give this Prussian officer a strong vertical outline. The reference photograph shows the figure in its blister, which also makes packaging part of the identification record.
The rider sits upright while his chestnut horse lowers its head. Green clothing, white straps and a tall plume make this a quiet, readable Del Prado cavalry subject from Napoleon’s Kingdom of Italy.
The blue jacket and tall shako belong to the 4th Light Dragoons before the regiment became hussars. That name matters: this is a Light Brigade subject, not a rider from the similarly numbered heavy cavalry.
The long lance and turban make an immediate visual statement. The name “Bengal Lancer” needs more care: it describes a military setting, not one uniform shared by every rider or a modern national boundary.
Helmet, armour and a practical coat give this horseman a compact, workmanlike appearance. The story behind the Ironsides is not simply religious conviction or a severe expression, but the ability to remain a useful force after action began.
The sweeping pale cloak gives this rider an unusual presence. His setting is the French Army of Africa on the eve of the Second World War, not the desert war suggested by a much later German association.
