This is the design of a guidon captured by the Prussian 5th Hussars from the French Polleresky Hussars in 1758.
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.)
Where did you find the info for this flsg? I have never seen an spanish flag with a sun. Are you sure about it?

Hi Perico,
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish cavalry standards with the sun motif are in Stephen Manley's "Colours and Standards of the War of the Austrian Succession: Book IV Spanish Infantry and Cavalry 1739-1748", Potsdam Flags and Publications 1998, page 11, items 27-30.

David.
