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.)
First raised 1670. Divided into 1st and 2nd Sjaellendske Regiments in 1675.
Service:
Served in the Great Northern War; landing at Humlebaek 1700; Scanian Campaign 1709 and 1710; battle of Wismar 1711; battle of Gadebusch and sieges of Stade and Stralsund 1712. Sent to Zealand 1716.
Disbanded 1721.
The motto on the standard means: "Everything Has Its Time" (one of many mottoes carried by the various standards of this regiment).
And this was probably the uniform late 17th to early 18th century:
