Cavalry unit.
This Del Prado officer rides a walking brown horse in a blue coat with red distinctions, dark trousers and a bicorne with a tall red plume. The sword remains at his side. The product reference identifies him as a Dalmatian pandour officer, dated 1810–1814.
A mounted Austrian officer raises his sword above a forward-moving brown horse. His pale coat, bicorne and red horse furniture distinguish this Del Prado figure from the later helmeted French cuirassiers. The reference identifies him as an Austrian cuirassier officer of 1796.
Del Prado’s captain of the 1st Bavarian Dragoons stands in a pale uniform with a red front, tall helmet and conspicuous plume. His sword is held at his side. This is a dismounted figure from the Napoleonic infantry-and-officer collection, so the cavalry title does not imply that a horse is supplied.
NA176 depicts a dismounted French dragoon advancing with a musket and fixed bayonet held across his body. His brass-colored crested helmet, green coat and pale trousers distinguish him from the blue-coated line infantry. A pack and rolled equipment sit behind the shoulders. The release contains the man on foot, with no horse.
NA168 supplies a mounted officer for the earlier Scots Greys releases. He wears the regiment’s red coat and bearskin, with an officer’s sash and a drawn sword held closer to the body than NA085’s extended charging blade. His grey horse moves forward at a controlled pace.
NA162 places a Dutch lancer musician on a grey horse with his instrument raised. The decorated uniform and tall square-topped headgear are especially conspicuous, while the red saddlecloth adds another broad area of color. Unlike a lancer trooper, he is actively sounding a signal.
NA159 portrays a Dutch lancer of Napoleon’s Guard carrying an upright lance with a red-and-white pennant. The red tunic, square-topped cap and yellow-edged blue saddlecloth produce a vivid combination. The walking horse distinguishes the release from the more dramatic charging cavalry.
NA148 is a mounted Russian officer in a dark green uniform, bicorne and tall boots. His decorated green saddlecloth is edged in yellow, and the horse advances at a measured pace. The figure belongs with the Russian releases around NA149 rather than the French cavalry in similar dark coats.
A standing cuirassier holds a saddle and associated equipment in NA122. He wears his helmet and breastplate, while the bulky load fills much of the space in front of him. No horse is included, despite the clearly cavalry-centered subject.
NA120 depicts a fallen French cuirassier and his horse. The rider’s metal breastplate, helmet and decorated saddle equipment remain visible within the collapsed group. Unlike an upright casualty figure, the low composition makes the animal’s body a major part of the subject.
