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.)
According to Sapherson The Danish Army 1699-1715, this was the design of a battalion flag of the Danish Foot Guards.
My previous post of a flag of the Danish Guards captured at Ramillies 1706 and shown in the Triomphes Louis XIV has information on the regiment and its history in the War of the Spanish Succession: https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2024/01/flags-of-denmark-in-war-of-spanish.html

Very nice as always David! Are those meant to be grenades in 3 of the corners?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. :-) Yes, they are very (very!) stylised grenades, I believe.

Cool looking flag David.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray. :-) I'm becoming very keen on these WSS and earleir flags. I need to get myself cloned so I can do more flag work!
DeleteAll the best,

Lovely work, have had Sapherson's b & w drawings since the 90s but not the artistic talent to do owt with them 😢👏
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-) The Sapherson drawings are very rough but do give just about enough detail to suggest what the worked up flags should be. Sometimes vital detail is very unclear, though. A lot of head scratching tends to go with the work! ;-)
DeleteAll the best,
David.
Amazing looking flags. The details you work into them is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mark. :-) One of the big advantages of working in a vector drawing program is that it is easier to zoom right in without loss of detail; I could never work from scratch in a pixel-based program!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
