Vienna Volunteers

In with the all the Austrian figures Don sent me recently were quite a few Der Kreigspieler Landwehr and Freikorps castings. These have been difficult to properly identify as the codes under the bases are not clear and I can't find any illustrations. However I was determined to use some of them and so I've mixed a few in with Hinton Hunt Jagers to form my version of the 'Vienna Volunteers'.

I believe the DK figures are 104/1 Militia (Tyrolean hat). The Jagers look like they may be Hinton Hunt BRN43 Brunswick avant-guard advancing.

This unit was apparently armed with a mix of muskets and rifles so combining the figures works well. The original paintwork on these is by Don and I have refeshed them and made a few changes to fit with my house style. I think they're looking pretty smart and who wouldn't want a unit of Landwehr in their Austrian army?

The flag-bearer may be either DK or Clayton but I can't find any listing that has a tyrolean hat so he may be a conversion.

The flag is intriguing - Don painted this from notes he made during a museum visit many years ago but can't remember what unit it was for. It's so unusual that I just had to keep it.
