Probable standards of the Danish Jyske Cavalry in the early 18th Century (after Sapherson)

Sapherson, in his volume on the Danish Army 1699-1715, describes and depicts two standards which are remarkably similar to the one shown in Höglund (see my last post), even down to the date 1706 and the motto on one of them. The detail is different, though, with gold work and fringes, and a red lined crown, which makes them look rather livelier than the Höglund standard. He suggests they are also Jyske regiment standards, which seems likely.
