No Techno, the one above is a Bavarian Infantryman, in the famous (but elusively avoiding consensus as to what shade it was!) Bavarian Cornflower Blue uniform.  So you can postpone the eye check for a week or two  ;)

Hi, i have just spent a romantic week end in Paris, and didn't missed the chance to visit Musee de l'Armè, for the great joy of my sweet half..... :d

However, remembering this discussion about the colour of bavarian infantry uniform during FPW, i took a pic of a jagher uniform exposed in the museum that is clearly light azure (see attached photo). Maybe the uniform at Les Invalides is an incorrect reconstruction (ie is missing the rolled dark grey coat) but i don't think so: I think that bavarian army may have suffered the fate of almost every army in the world during campaign, when bad weather, bad provisions or simple wear and tear make every standard uniform almost impossible to be mantained. So is quite possible that during FPW bavarian regiments could have wore both blue and light azure uniforms.

Could also be the result of fading, as when Confederate grey uniforms faded over time to butternut, thus giving the impression that more Confederates fought in butternut than actually did.

Great Stuff!  We can now all be right - and wrong - at the same time!  :-\

There is no "right" or "wrong", Mollinary - only opinion. That's my philosophical thought for the day.   :)

But what if you are wrong in your right to an opinion on a philosophy is that may be wrong?  :-\
Or should I have left that?
