Suomen Sota 1808-1809

Uniform details

In these tables you'll find info on the uniform colors used by Finnish and Swedish units. Info on the equipment can be found on the painting the miniatures -page.

Please note that quite few of the sources have contradicting info on some details of the uniforms and plenty of uniform plates were done later on and not by contemporay artists. Even "Between The Imperal Eagles" has plenty of plain old typos in its uniform table. The uniform colors of Adlercreuzka regemente especially are highly uncertain.
