As promised here is a nearly unique painting guide for the 1806-1807 Prussian Army: Plates have been hand painted.

It is rare to have so many reference in one document and I think it will help a lot of people looking for Prussian uniforms and flags.

I hope you will enjoy it

I am very interested in this portion of the Napoleonic Wars so these plates are extremely helpful. I hope to purchase some of your figures as soon as the budget allows.
Thank you

the plate is okish – the officer – in the field – didn't carry a sponton, the gorget is missing(or hause col)

There are superb contemporary series available online – like those from

napoleon-online.de

other pitfals

the musket sling of the old prussian musket is running over the trigger guard and fixed on the butt.

Kürassier Regiment Heissing had white and not blue saddle cloth – also Wagenfeld had white saddle cloth and no black, garde du corps had red with white lace and a thin blue stripe in between and a Guard Star crowned by a crown
Gendarmes had a dark blue saddle cloth with Guard star and crown

so one has to be carefull

The source is

L'Armée Prusiennne 1806 – 1807

rassemblés et desinne's par
J.J. Gilet

a very good effort, but with alas some pitfalls.

For a very good guide on saddle clothes go for Hourtoulle (avoid the plates by Jouineau but see the photos from the excellent work of Kling) pages 16 and 17 (French edition)

Also for Towarczys the source shows the battalion Towarczys and not the regiment – which had a different uniform (mainly saddle cloth)

I will do in due course a photo which shows the saddle cloth of Garde du Corps as worn on campaign in 1806

Thanks von Winterfeld for all these valuable infos.

Yes the the source is:

L'Armée Prusiennne 1806 – 1807 by JJ Gilet and painted by our friend Christian Terrana.

Cheers

Would von Winterfeldt consider reviewing for accuracy a new digital graphics survey of 1806 Prussian uniforms now in preparation?
