Four Generic English Queen Anne Cipher Dragoon Guidons for 1702-1714

Written records tell us (e.g. the Great Wardrobe Accounts (" Boughton Papers ") preserved in the Round Tower, Windsor Castle) that English dragoon and cavalry guidons and standards of the period 1689-1715 often carried the monarch's cipher with a crown above on a coloured damask sheet, with various fringes. I therefore offer these four generic dragoon guidons with Queen Anne's cipher for the period 1702-1714, which will be useful for the all too many English dragoon regiments of the WSS for which we do not know their guidons.
