Any idea how long after the 1800 change the black turban was widespread?<br /><br />The turbans on both of my regiments are now black...<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JonJonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-85439455842060799792013-10-06T07:14:02.624-07:002013-10-06T07:14:02.624-07:00Facing color would be cool.

I wonder if the light dragoons at Maida in 1806 would have still been wearing the colored turban?<br /><br />For Kevin's Napoleon in Egypt project, colored turban would look good.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-67181135570388650292013-10-06T07:11:29.161-07:002013-10-06T07:11:29.161-07:00Thank you, Phil!Thank you, Phil!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-91476837289058516812013-10-06T07:11:12.395-07:002013-10-06T07:11:12.395-07:00Thanks, James!Thanks, James!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-7743166697594786372013-10-06T00:56:52.035-07:002013-10-06T00:56:52.035-07:00Hi Jon,
Lovely looking unit. I know what you mean ...Hi Jon,<br />Lovely looking unit. I know what you mean about deciding on turbans. I think the confusion comes from the earlier pattern Tarleton where the pattern was for plumes and turbans in regimental facing colour and with officers often having a leopard skin turban. A good reference is "British Napoleonic Uniforms" by C.E. Franklin, on Page 13 he illustrates the various patterns and states by 1800 a more elegant pattern was established, plumes and turbans changed from the facing colour to white over red for the plumes and to black silk for the turbans. The chin scales, regimental badge on the right side and the metal band around the peak were in white metal.<br /><br />Hope that helps<br />Jonathancarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-51956995968897727532013-10-06T00:03:21.609-07:002013-10-06T00:03:21.609-07:00Great uniform and great work Jonathan!Great uniform and great work Jonathan!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-56462510066853003972013-10-05T23:04:19.278-07:002013-10-05T23:04:19.278-07:00They look great Jonathan.
