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.)
This is another flag of an unknown Savoyard regiment as depicted in the Triomphes Louis XIV. The manuscript says it was taken after the capture of the town of Vercelli in 1704. The Kronoskaf WSS page on the siege lists a number of Savoyard militia regiments captured and I wonder if this flag belonged to one of them: http://kronoskaf.com/wss/index.php?title=1704_%E2%80%93_Siege_of_Vercelli
Oh, I like it! Another strikingly colorful Piedmontese flag.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon. :-) Yes, they are rather colourful, aren't they? It's lucky that so many were captured in the WSS etc. so we have some images of them!

Unsurprisingly another flag that is of interest to my ImagiNations armies David, due to the cross at the core of the design. Having the detailed edging just lifts the design, so perfect for say elite units:).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. :-) I'm glad it will be useful even if you don't plan to raise Savoyvard units! I really do enjoy seeing my flags in use...

Beautiful colourful flag David.
