Hello, My understanding is that after the loss of Finland to Imperial Russia in 1809, the Finnish regiments were disbanded and the men raise in Finland were simply distributed to Russian regiments. Hence the uniforms would be standard for whatever regiment they ended up in. It isn’t until later in the 19th century that the Grand Duchy of Finland gets its own army with distinct regiments again, and even then it didn’t last long before being folded back into the Imperial Russian Army. So it seems you have it right.

@ZenMiniPainting Thanks, Champ. Basically, what I've tried to do is have an allied force for each of my main armies, hopefully to add colour and variation. I admit taking a "type" of Russian figure and calling them Finnish hardly meets that aim, but at least it's something, and I couldn't think of anything else (foot Cossacks?). Also, my collection (like myself) is quite old, and obtaining figures that match (at least in height) is becoming increasingly problematic. Most figures now advertised as 15mm I often find are often closer to 18mm. Finding someone who could print appropriate figures in resin may offer a solution. Cheers!
