chassuer de la reiunion 1810 HELP!

[Viking Bob]

I picked up this Metal Models figure at Bristol Bugle call last year (£15 bargain) but I don't know any details of the uniform or where this Regiment served. Were they raised on and served on Reiunion an island near Madagascar. All I have are these but all contradict each other.



The last pic is the Metal Models colour slip with the figure.

Thanks Andrew - I've got this one in my stash too (although it's a little way from the top at the moment) so I've copied the link for later.

It was a free gift for subscribers of the old “Figurines” magazine which had an article about it. I’m just off to Montrouge but will look it up when I’m back next week if you want.

That's very kind of you Huw, I was wondering why it was never on the MM webpage or catalogue. I guessed it was a one off, but could find no information. Thanks
