Frederick II. of Prussia

"Charging-Ready-Fire"

Before firing, the men had to carry out more than 30 movements of the hand. The pa-per cartridge must have been bitten and the ball must have been held in mouth until the powder was trickled in the gun barrel and tamped on the soil with the ramrod. Then followed the ball before the compressed cartridge paper was stamped with the ramrod for fixing the ball within the gun barrel. The men moved into position "ready" when they stood by for firing. Charging the muskets was only possible while the soldiers were standing upright.

All Privates are available with six different types of headgear. Please make your choice when ordering.
