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.)

"Ordinanza" or Regimental Flag of Sardinian Swiss Regiment Guibert, mid-18th century
And here's another of the Sardinian flags - shown with the irregularities of the original. Would people prefer exactly symmetrical flags? I rather like the real-world oddities myself.
David Please stop!!!! OK don't really, great to see you doing the Sardinian flags as it means I can stop using the rather iffy images I downloaded. Great work as ever, when can we expect a template for dce Saxe's imaginary legionaires (well I can hope) Cheers Steve
1) :-) More Sardinian flags soon, I hope - rather tied up with doing things to make ready for Xmas at the moment, I'm afraid. I have thought about doing a template for de Saxe's troops but (as Jean-Louis said) those drawings from the posthumous version look very odd indeed and are a little offputting! We'll see, though...
2) I'll stick with the oddities too, FB! :-)
3) Yes, detail is the name of the game here - although finding the right detail amongst the contradictions can be difficult!
Saturday 6th June 2020 I've decided to allow comments from Anonymous Users but I'll still be moderating posts, as I'm sure the spam will probably flood in now! We'll see...

I enjoy the historical oddities, too. And we can learn from it.
ReplyDeleteThe detail is much appreciated.
