The word of the flat thin figures is marvellous. You collect informations about your littler characters and many people come and friendly help you in your quest.
Thanks !
However, despite the willingness the answers are sometimes not totally right. For the picture given by Bob, the featured charachter is Emperor Karl the 6th. For the one by Eric, this is an other set by Kovar : Prince Eugen receives the order of the Golden Fleece. In these two cases, the servants can not be the ones of the prince.
Here is a drawing by A Wilke of a drum of Eugen's dragon regiment. Are the dress colours the same as the livery or just the reversed ones of the regiment (red with black cuff) ?
