I acquired that head in a small eBay lot a few months ago.  I put it in a
"special bag" for future reference. I thought that head was different... I
had only seen a similar version with an eyepatch on Capt. Redbeard.  The
head I have came from a Blue suited Wild West cavalry officer (The lot
contained an incomplete Fort Legoredo, Sheriff's Office, a 6097 Batlord's
Castle, and some small space sets).  I remember that there were many more
spare heads than torsos, so I figured the previous owner had sold me only
part of a collection.  None of the Castle or cavalry heads were the same as
the ones pictured in the sets.

Thanks for the info John. Could it have been one of the soldiers pictured at:

I just dug ot my 6769 instructions...

The head was on the Officer with the double-breasted shirt and black pants.
It was sunstituted for the handlebar mustache/beard head.

In the instructions the other bearded heads appear to have a brown beard
like the 1st generation Imperial guard tri-cornered hat officers...I don't
believe any were red in the original set. (You will have to ask someone who
purchased a MIB 6769- both of mine are used+incomplete)

Your observations are appreciated.  I never realized the origin of that
minifig head.  I also have an incomplete Imp trading post from the first
eBay lot I won.  It seems I have one of the minifig heads I need.  Now if I
could just accidently acquire a couple more white walls, a Red Admiral and
all the other figs = )

P.S.  The Odyssey would be an interesting and challenging subject for a Lego
webpage...  Very cool idea!
