The cap of the grenadiers was of brown fur with a green bag piped with yellow lace and a yellow tassel. The plate with its grenade badge was in yellow metal, like the uniform's buttons, but the grenade was white metal.
Being a uniform and flag design service to wargamers and to the imaginary crowned heads of 17th and 18th Century Europe, especially of the Seven Years War period - now By Appointment to the Court of Saxe-Bearstein! (But please note that the uniforms and flags presented here are not fictional - they are genuine 17th and 18th Century uniforms and flags that are as authentic as I can make them from my sources.)
