I must say right away that this sculptor is preparing a fairly large series dedicated to the Russian infantry for the years 1812-14 in different poses. The series will be interesting for fans of multi-figure compositions, since many details of these figures can be replaced with parts from other sets, thus achieving their maximum diversity!

As for the nomenclature of the parade feather trims...:

Non-commissioned officers wore a black and white quartered cockade...



... and the feather trim showed white over black and the white part was divided with a narrow orange stripe - regardless of the company in question ...:





The small tassels on the hanging of the kiwi fruit can be shown in gold, as in the top picture.

With the Pavlovskern, the pompom was white on the crews - NCOs wore a quartered pompom, which consisted of white, black and light red threads - and looked red and white from a distance ...:







Cheers
