    OK, I purchased the Late French starter army, and it has me a bit confused. So far, every uniform reference I have seen shows the Cartridge pouch as being black, with maybe a letter N and a crown in brass. The box itself contains a transfer sheet for all of the included infantry with the company symbol on it. However these are also in black. Can anyone point me to a reference which describes if/when the cartridge pouch was anything other than black?

    Regards

    Not for infantry… to be honest I thought they were the company insignia for the turn backs on the tunics…. <shrugs>

    On campaign the cartridge box often had a fabric cover – often an off white or linen. Then the fusilier, grenadier, volitgeur badges would be painted on. Are they for that?
