The Colbergsches Infanterie-Regiment was created in August 1808 from units which had defended the fortress of Colberg.
The soldier we see here wears the basic uniform of the Füsilier-Bataillon von Moller from which the light battalion of the new regiment was formed.
His shako still proudly bears the eagle emblem of the Füsiliere of the old army.
He carries a British 'India Pattern' musket.
To the left of the figure are muskets used in the Prussian army.
From left - right:
