Danish officers sashes.

Quick bit of help please, what would be the colour of the Danish officers sashes. I have seen yellow on a couple of units but also orange.

Thanks

Uniform color sashes weren't introduced until 1730's.
Several different colors were recorded. Most likely Danes wore sashes in colour characteristic to country that hired them - red in Imperial and orange in Dutch service.
