Possible standard of the Danish Livgarden til Hest late 17th to early 18th Century (see disclaimer below!)

Disclaimer: We do not know the standard for the regiment in the early years of the century or at the end of the 17th century; a later standard of 1720 does exist. Sapherson describes an existing unattributed standard which has the Great State Shield (exactly as the Foot Guards has - see my previous post with that flag) with a wildman on each side, with a small crowned F4 cipher in each top corner. He speculates that this might be of the Livgarden til Hest (or even the Livregiment). This is the standard I have recreated here. Use or not as you wish! I felt it was too interesting a standard not to create and offer it...

Raised 1661.

Served in the Scanian Campaign 1709-1710. Campaigned in Mecklenburg and Pomerania 1711-1716.

And this was probably the uniform in 1711:
