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.)
Raised 1675 as Baudissins Regiment. 1685 Oldenborgske Kyrassierregiment. 1702 Holstenske.
Served in British and Dutch pay in the WSS 1701-1713. At Blenheim 1704 and Ramillies 1706. Siege of Stralsund 1715.
The standard may well have been the same for the Oldenbourgske Regiment earlier.
And the uniform was probably like this in the War of the Spanish Succession (although the saddle cloth detail is not known):
