Around 1708, a cheaper alternative cap called the "kartuz" or "karpus" was authorized officially by the Tsar to supplement shortages of the three-cornered hat, but its exact design was not well defined. In the images above, you've seen two different styles illustrated, and both are based on surviving examples. Viskovatov's illustrations were the formative work of Russian uniformology and still inform artists today, even though they are incomplete or misinformed in places. His Petrine images are so broad and brief, I have not included them in this post. Letin offers an alternative to that established image. His design closely resembles the "Montero" of the 17th century.

Spoiler: The kartuz according to Viskovatov in his "Historical Description of Clothing and Weapons of the Russian forces", 1841

Spoiler: The kartuz according to Letin in "Wardrobe of Peter the Great" (a text to which I don't have access), 2002?

Spoiler: Surviving specimens of both styles, side by side, in the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum.

Spoiler: Close-up of "Letin's" kartuz, SPB Hermitage.

If you're wondering why I write some regiment names as proper town and city names, but Preobrazhenskiy and Semyonovskiy as transliterated adjectives, it's because they're named after villages that literally have no proper noun for a name. "Preobrazhenskoe Selo" means "Village of the Transfiguration," and calling the unit the "Transfigurational Regiment" is most undesirable.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Damn those are some fancy uniforms. I like this one especially---I'm a bit of a sucker for gold lace.

I like Sergey Letin's work, too. I'm got a bunch of his Napoleonic stuff. I wonder if A. Ezhov does any paintings from this era. He's probably my favourite modern Russian military illustrator.

Hehehehe turnbacks drool

Wow.. Horse drummers? Never knew it was possible  Well at least I learnt something today...

Somewhat alright depicted in this (all too short!) sequence that features the Duke of Marlborough at the Battle of Blenheim, or at least a rather famous descendant of his pictures it.

[Auldman]

Well I guess I do not have to post anything for Russia now.

Anyway, horse drummers and buglers were used by most nations and we might fit them into the mod.

Here are some for French Gardes du Corps:

*Bump* new regiments added for Spain, Prussia, and Denmark. If images do not show up right click on them and open in a new tab. That seems to work.

Thanks! It's a good resource and one we did use for this mod for the troops already in the game. But it's a great resource to spend hours just trawling through!
