Things are also complicated by the fact that, having been disbanded at the end of the ASW, they do not appear in the lists of the 18th century regiments (and therefore their history) but only in the battle orders.<br />Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-52685471920426461632019-05-17T12:17:16.867-05:002019-05-17T12:17:16.867-05:00Great looking battalion.

There were some interesting Units, which were not more in Service during the SYW like the Regiment Styrum (red uniforms with green cuffs). Styrum for example was present in many battles of the WAS on the Western Theater of war. I think now I would use Gudenus as my favorite source, although the figures there are from the 1730s. The uniform of the Regiment Khevenhüller for example is very interesting: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uniforms_Gudenus?uselang=de#/media/File:Kaiserliches_Dragonerregiment_D_V_1734_Gudenushandschrift.jpg <br /><br />Cheers and best regards,<br /><br />DamnitzAmtmann B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02939313112868431455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-39049760318695615502019-05-14T05:39:26.144-05:002019-05-14T05:39:26.144-05:00Lovely work as always, Jim!
