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.)
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.

Nice standards David, I have really enjoyed your sojourn into Danish flags, it's a real treat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie. :-) One more standard to do before a break from the Danes for a while. But will probably do more eventually. I look forward to seeing more of them in action! :-)

Thank you for your great work. The Jutland regiments would normally have the "Jutland lion" with 9 hearts below (just like its current successor the Jutland Dragoon Regiment (Jydske Dragonregiment). The German language text may indicate one of the regiments from southern part of the Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hans. The design is from Höglund's book, which is generally well regarded. I do have one final Danish standard with the lion and hearts to post soon which is also from a Jyske/Jydske regiment fitting your description (described by both Höglund and Sapherson).
