Re: Old Guard at Attention

I cancel what I said before. My view is that it should be reversed.

"My view is that it should be reversed."

I don't understand. What exactly should be reversed? The way the grenadiers are holding their muskets or your opinion that they are holding their muskets on the wrong side?

Shouldering the muskets on the left is perfectly correct for the Napoleonic era (except for NCOs who shouldered them on the right). Producing soldiers with their muskets shouldered on the right was one of the worst mistakes made by early Napoleonic figure manufacturers.

I think we all should have understood that by now.

Re: Old Guard at Attention

The muskets are on the correct side. I did a wrong evaluation.

Re: Old Guard at Attention

Ok. Thanks.
