Swedish headgear question
Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:48 am
Dear All,
a couple of questions re the humble Karpus.
Was the Karpus a Swedish early version of the service cap, that could be worn alongside the standard issue tricorn hat?
or
would specific regiments have received the Karpus as an alternative to the tricorn?
essentially, can I mix in the odd Karpus headed figure into my tricorn headed figures within the same regiment?
thanks
