British Heavy Dragoons Peninsular War

Victrix VX0026

12 x British Peninsular Dragoons

This uniform was in use up to 1812, but probably carried on into 1813 due to sporadic supply issues with all armies during the Napoleonic wars (regulations and actual practice are very different even in todays armies)

The differences in this uniform are the shoulder wings and horizontal bars of lace across the chest. They do not have the striped girdle under the sword belt, and the cuffs are different. We have done two sets of arms for this set to represent the British regiments and the King’s German Legion (they have a pointed cuff with chevrons of lace above it)

We have also included two options for the sword scabbard: by itself or sword scabbard and sabretache. The sabretache was issued in 1812 to the heavy cavalry, but again, it probably took a while to get to the troops; it is there for completeness. The officer has a choice of a bicorn or cylindrical shako with cords.
