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.)
Here is another Spanish cavalry standard depicted in the Triomphes Louis XIV, of an unknown unit and captured 1693 in Flanders. This one has more obvious Spanish symbolism with the Burgundian cross and the fleece from the Order of the Golden Fleece (but not the collar of the Order which is also usually depicted on flags).

Excellent work David. Its great that these banners and flags were recorded for bragging rightd back in the day but I wish they could also have worked out what unit they were from!

Thank you, Ray. :-) Yes, it's pleasing and frustrating at the same time! If only other nations had also made such records of captured flags. More on the way!
