Napoleonic French Dismounted Dragoons--Nine Figures on Foot

Dragoons are mounted troopers and are often deployed as a rapid mobile force to seize or hold important tactical positions where infantry could not arrive in time. In this role, the Dragoon functions as an infantryman relying on his musket and bayonet. His mount would be kept at the rear and his sword, not useful in a fire-fight, would be kept with the horse.
The Dragoon Officer is not issued the musket and thus does not have the shoulder cartridge belt. His helmet is of a slightly different (more elegant) shape.
