Hi Paul,

Thanks for the pictures!

But I'm no specialist of all the german uniforms;
Would you mind highlighting my ignorance and give the names of the countries of allthese guys? i guess I recognized some bavarians, but for the rest...

MTIA!

But also Muratian napolitan
What is difficult is to find out who is who .

who is who

On the uniforms from naples there is a red cocarde and on the uniforms from westfalia the cocarde is bleu

Furthermore, you may see the signiture "J" which stands for Jerome - brother of Napoleon, who ruled Westphalia. This is clearly seen on 044.jpg, the 5th picture on comment #2447

[Don Paolo]

"J" stands for Joachim Murat, King of Naples!
Jerome, King of Westphalia uses "JN", Jerome Napoleon!!

It seems I may have caused a bit of a problem by not posting the pictures in their correct groupings

Many apologies for any confusion caused.

1. For Joachim Murat's army I have this picture ( attachment 1) It is clearly seen there is M signature. The picture itself was downloaded from this forum. If the uploader is watching this thread, please identify this picture as authentic or not.

2. Regarding Jerome Bonapart I have this picture ( attachment 2) Here it is clearly seen that the signature is really JN as Don Paolo stated. But in wikipedia this signature:

is said to be Joseph's - king of Spain.
Is the mistake in wikipedia, the picture (attachment 2) or Jerome and Joseph just used the same letters for their signatures but in different styles?

A very interesting matter, indeed
