League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Anyone have any idea what it looked like?

silly question is this a Swedish regt? got vague memory of six pointed star on blue background but could be very wrong

is there an alternative spelling of the regt name eg Gyllenstiernas? as in Hoglund's Scanian War there is a colour illustration and description of the standard

There has been several Gyllenstierna reigments through the ages as it's a noble family.
This particular regiment was created before the invasion of Russia in 1707.

The Gyldenstyjerna coat of arms is a yellow seven pointed star on blue field, so my suggestion is to use this design for the company color and for the colonel color the king coat of arms , on one side and the seven pointed star on the other side all on a white field. According to the illustration on Dan Shorr book on the Swedish flags, the company color may also have a blue field and a design (seven pointed star) on the upper left part of the two tailed flag.

Thanks!
Now I have to find a way to actually make one.

had a look in CA Sapherson's booklet on Swedish army 1688-1721 states the dragoons wore blue coats lined in lighter blue.Waistcoats and breeches were deep blue, wore red cravats and pale yellow lace loops on buttonholes of coats
