1672 Dutch Flag

[Orctrader]

I've painted the Northstar 1672 infantry as Dutch. I just need a flag, either "ready-made" or an image I can copy and paint on.

I can't seem to find one that is definitely "right."

I just want one that won't illicit comments like "that's not the right flag..." when I eventually post photos.

Anyone painted a Dutch regiment that can share with me the image of the flag they used please?

This is one of the colours from the book "Les Triomphes de Louis le Grand", and this is a copy from the dutch army museum, from the Ten Raa collection. Several other copies have been made of the original manuscript. The colour was captured by the French at Seneffe, 1674

Initially I thought this was the colour of the Frisian Aylva Regiment, but this is wrong. It's not quite clear which other regiment it could be of the several Frisian Regiments present at Seneffe, like Amama, Schwartzenberg or Burmania.

And this is "the greater picture" from the Ten Raa collection, showing on the left side the Aylva flag (the Aylva logo is embedded in the centre of the colour, on better copies it's seen more clearly) and on the right side the unidentified flag. The weapon with the two lions in the corner is the weapon of the Province of Friesland.

Yes, I know their opinion on it, but it's just one source and - like I said above - there were more Frisian regiments present at the battle.
