Flags of Spanish Swiss Infantry Regiment Jung Reding or Nuevo de Reding 1743-1768

These are the flags of Spanish Swiss Regiment Jung Reding or Nuevo Reding or Joseph Reding or José Reding, all variant names for the same regiment according to source.

First raised 1743. For much of its life 2 battalions, each of 4 companies, each of 150 men.

These flags were probably carried from 1743 at least until the new regulations of 1768.




These were a recent commission for Lewis Simpson-Jones who was happy to see them offered on the blog.

Uniform dark blue with red facings (lapels and cuffs) and turnbacks, dark blue breeches and white gaiters.
