Italeri French Line Infantry

The Italeri French Line Infantry (HC-6002) depicts the backbone of Napoleon's Grande Armée. The figures reflect the shako headgear introduced in 1806, replacing earlier bicorn hats, and the characteristic Charleville 1777 musket paired with the briquet infantry shortsword. The set also includes key regimental roles for added authenticity.

Historical Detail

French line infantry were the core fighting units of the era. Their distinctive shako became standard from 1806, while the Charleville 1777 musket and briquet shortsword were widely carried by rank and file.
