Ah, my fault for just assuming Värmland regiment was just like all the others. Should have checked of course; I did know it was originally Närke & Värmland but carelessly thought they'd let Värmland grow into regular size. Perhaps they didn't due to the fact that they had an elite enlisted regiment there too - Värmlands fältjägare (chasseurs).
Perhaps they just stuck to the old numbering system, instead of having to re-number all the soldier crofts (every soldier croft had a plaque with the soldier number and the names of the rote and company). Or - because a handwritten 4 and 9 can look very much alike - the soldier register made a mistake when they entered the information in the database.
Thank you Jeff for making this correct! I shall now never assume that a regiment is regulation size but always look it up!
