TRumpeters Banners

Post by Chad » Sat Aug 27, 2016 10:49 am

I am presently working on French Cavalry for LoA, but can find no information on the banners attached to trumpets that are modelled on the figures. Can anyone tell me anything about them? For example, were they miniature versions of the regiment's standard or something different?

Thanks

I think they were the same usually a sun in splendour with flue de lyse and clouds with lightning and various mottos like nec pluribus impar in ribbons or other noble family mottos, the guards look like country scene paintings rather than flags!

For the gentlemen's regiments they were probably usually in the livery colors of the colonel-proprietor with the colonel's coat of arms. The Royal regiments probably had banners that were like their standards.
