Thanks Willie,
I wanted to see the instructions from Segom to see how they compared with my own research, as I knew that the Segom work would be correct and not to sure on mine.
I have most of the books you mentioned plus many more in addition photographs of many of the surviving uniforms from Polish / French museums and from the Kranzsky collection currently residing at the Polish Institute in London, well worth a visit.
I think that you will find that the books that you mention as being out of print are in fact being published in a slight different format by Editions Heimdal, they are also appearing in a magazine called Soldat some six being published at the moment on the Imperial Guard.
