You're right, Marko. Different revolution.
I like this topic. My wife also just got the DVD of
Les Miserables and we watched it last weekend. She loved it, I liked it better than I thought I would. Except for the singing attempts of Russell Crowe that is.
If anyone can, our experts should be able to steer you in exactly the right direction, Steve. But even if not, one thing is really in your favor. And that is the cut of the Restroration era uniforms ca. 1816- early 1830's changed little from Napoleonic times. It was more a matter of differing regimental desigations, flags and uniform colors. If you have at hand the splendid plates of Moltzheim you can paint very credible French Restoration figures using flats of Napoleon's post-1812 army.

For example, I had in mind to make a 40mm wargaming project in an alternative European world ca. 1830 using 40mm semi-round home castings. I did this battalion using Zinnbrigade French Napoleonic casting molds. The flag is a bit fanciful (for the imagi-nation of Celtica) but you get the general idea.

As for the civilians, didn't Mohr engrave a great set of civilian revolutionaries ? Might well have been for 1848 as I recall but they could work.
Good luck with this, Steve. I look forward to seeing what you make of it.
