The Prussian’s always considered the dragoon as a mounted infantryman. In the early day’s they carried drums and infantry weapons and their name derives from the type of weapon which they originally carried. Although they were of lower status than cuirassiers and rode on smaller horses, they were in combat more often. The dragoons were universal troops, they could skirmish, scout, fight dismounted and make all-out charge in pitched battle. The dress of the German dragoon had always had some characteristics of the infantry, the helmets and tunics followed the infantry pattern in many respects.

Nice subject and very well painted. But the way the arms end make it look odd to me, sort of like an amputee. Just dosn't sit right for my taste.
