The Reichsarmee: Coming Soon: Flags Of Franconian Regiments Cronegk, Ferntheil and Varell

I still have the uniforms and text to do for these three regiments but here is a snapshot of all three flags:


The FC monogram is as authentic as I can make it as it is taken from a surviving flag in the Bavarian Army Museum.

      Thanks, Jon. :-) All three were at Rossbach and sadly did not distinguish themselves; but given their rawness they can hardly be blamed, I think... The story of their flags is a curious one too.

      All the best,

      David.

    These are wonderful. I have recently purchased the lead to do a Reichsarmee contingent so love what I am seeing here and in the last few posts I have looked at. Thank you.

      Thanks, Mark. :-) The Reichsarmee are fascinating, even if it's sometimes the fascination of a train wreck... ;-)

      All the best,

      David.
