Does anyone know whether or not the Russians used tassels during the GNW?
If so colours?

Well Jim, I don't know it. But it may be the same case with the Russian Flags as with the Saxon Flags. Until the first large loss, in Your case at Narva, they had Tassels attached to their Flags. But as those tassels have gold or silver thread woven in they represent a certain amount of value and so the Saxons decided that it would be a waste of money so they removed them from their flags.Russian James wrote:Looking at the re-enactment photos from 'petrobrigada' I've notice there doesn't appear to be any tassels on their flagstaffs...

Documents concerning manufacturing of Dragoon flags do mention tassels of green silk. (Published in Nikolaev. 'Istorichesky ocherk o regaliah i znamenah' 1898. Vol. 1. Historical accout on regalias and flags).
