These are the Perry miniatures Nyland jäger figures. I really dont know how these should be painted. There are conflicting descriptions of their uniform in different sources. I decided to go for a practical option and paint them to look different from the Savolax jägers (who have green facings and a green plume). In this way at least they will be clearly distinguishable as different units when gaming. The figures are very nice, with the rifles being obviously modelled on the Helvig model 1804 rifle (in the Swedish army museum and digitaltmuseum.se). The level of detail on the rifle is an example of what makes the Perry figures so good.

Perhaps the Nylands Jager were the “Swedish Jager” of Knotel’s Finnish Sharpshooter illustration. I’ve always been puzzled by that one.

Yes, could be. I think it is based on the contemporary one by Eben which has the same title: https://digitaltmuseum.se/021016285891/plansch-med-uniform-for-jagare-i-finska-armen-ritad-av-frederic-eben-i/media?slide=0
