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.)

Unit and uniform detail to follow...
As usual, because this is an image larger than c.30 kbs, I've had to put the real thing on my webspace here: http://www.woodward.toucansurf.com/SYW/SwedishBlueHussar1756DM1.png as the blog turns a small png file into a huge 16.7m colour image. The image here is merely a small thumbnail.

This is the design of a guidon captured by the Prussian 5th Hussars from the French Polleresky Hussars in 1758.

This is very similar in design to the French heavy cavalry standards (note the use of the Bourbon fleur-de-lys in the corners) but with a more cartoonish face in the centre. It can easily be edited to include the ImagiNation cipher or emblem in the middle.

To complete the Prussian set, here is a Prussian hussar standard of the early 1740s. They were not carried after the early years of the War of the Austrian Succession.

There were at least 5 variants of the standards carried by Prussian dragoons; this is the simplest version of the oldest type, which dated from the reign of Frederick II's father.
