Title: 1877 Russian Furashka
Post by: Leman on 12 December 2013, 09:45:25 PM
Does anyone have any photos of the 1877 Russian infantry in furashka? Wondering if it can be used as another pose for WWI.

Yes they can - I use them for the RJW

I thought I had some pictures on my blog but can't find the Russo-Turksish ones

If the Pendraken figure is of the Russian guard then you could get away with it as WW1 possibly. The guard was the only formation that wore the furashka in 1877 - the line all wore the kepi.

Thanks for that folks. I can see a number of uses for that figure and not just WWI. Will definitely be adding some of those to my forces.
