Need Help with 2 more French Zouave & Not sure on the 2nd one (1 Viewer)

[captainsimos]

Two more I need help to confirm ID. Pretty sure the first one is French Zouave Imperial Guard, but could never find exact match to the uniform.
The second one seems to be Italian but again never could find exact match. Any suggestions or help will be apprciated.

Hi, Simos, the second figure is an Austrian Jäger, 1806, wearing the Corsican hat, as it was called. The brim was turned up on the one side. The cockade, the hat, and the uniform color are all identifiers. It looks like a Stadden figure, and it's painted pretty badly. That's painted by a hobbyist, not a factory paint job, and worth more for stripping and repainting.

I think you're right about the French figure, but that's a little out of my area of study. I would say that the figure depicts him circa 1870.

Hope that helps, prost!

Thank you, always great information for a novice.

Hi, Simos, taking another and closer look at the Austrian, he might be a Hinton Hunt casting. Marcus Hinton was a contemporary of Charles Stadden, and their catalogs and figures were similar. Though Stadden was a better sculptor, and Hinton's castings had cruder proportions and details than the average Stadden figure. The hands tended to be a little outsized, and often the figure's head had a somewhat pointy chin. They still have their charm, and were among the first generation of what we would today call connoisseur figures, to be painted more realistically than toy soldiers. I have a group of Hinton Imperial German cavalry officers in the stash, cleaned and primed and awaiting their turn on the bench.

Prost!

Here is my Austrian with turned up hat, a Sapper by New Hope Design, from the Napoleonic era.

You can see the figure and the style of headgear, but I do agree about the figures is a Jaeger.

I think he is a Hinton Hunt although the sticker was not on the bottom of the figure. I appreciate all the informaiton. There is a Hinton Hunt catalog on line and I will see if this one is listed.
