At the coronation of James II in 1685 the 8 troop guidons of the Royal Regiment of Dragoons (later the 1st Dragoon Guards) were recorded. I have depicted the guidons of the Lieutenant Colonel, with the golden escarbuncle, a badge of Henry II; of the 1st troop captain, two silver ostrich feathers in saltire; and of the 6th troop captain, a phoenix in flames, a badge of Queen Elizabeth I.
The Kronoskaf site has a detailed history of the regiment here: http://kronoskaf.com/wss/index.php?title=1st_Royal_Dragoons

All three are really rather lovely and should look fabulous on some 28mm Dragoons, which one would hope to see in due course:).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. Yes, I do hope I shall see them large with some 28mm figures! :-)
