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 one I did many years ago. I have very little information on the history of the unit. I took most of the detail from a photograph of the original standard which survives in the Bavarian Army Museum.
And this was probably the uniform in 1702:

Oooooh what a goodie, brilliant work David.

Thanks, Willz. Standard now improved and updated; please see the latest version!
DeleteAll the best,
David.
This is a great piece of work. I shall be delighted to retire my own home-botched version and replace it with yours. Thanks ever so much. The downside is I may feel obliged to smarten up the unit's uniforms to match...
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you like it! But please note the newer version which is a big improvement... :-) Look forward to seeing it with your troops - smartened up or not...

Beautiful flag and horse grenadiers are my favourite units, so this one is a win win for me!! Really enjoying your work on these earlier period.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie. :-) Yes, they are really smart units, aren't they? Of course, sadly, many of those units had no standards to carry! Luckily this one did... I feel a bit guilty neglecting the SYW and WAS but I can't be everywhere at once!

David.
David, thank you, greeting from Munich Bavaria
ReplyDeleteThank you, Josef! :-)

Hello David, beautiful work indeed. Is the standard above the latest, improved version? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The version posted on Friday 16th February is the latest and improved version, so basically it's the other one! Hope that's not confusing... Cheers, David.
