[RMD]

Ha ha! Very silly indeed!

And here's a rough of the whole standard:

Bravo!



Don't forget the squadron guidon... And Les Cavallerie de la Valet de la Chambre...

Excellent work, David. Fit for several of Mark's units.

BTW, there's a curlicue on the reverse, just the the upper left of the crown, that appears to be back to front. RMD would notice that.

I think both regiments are going to have to be added to my collection...

Thank you! I'm afraid the standard was made in a cheap back steet flag manufacturer's in Shoreditch, just off Gin Alley, and when all the staff are permanently "in their cups" inevitably mistakes creep in.

Cheers,

David.

Right; here's a low resolution snapshot of the completed sheet for the Groom of the Stool's Own flags. The high resolution sheet is too big to be uploaded here. I shall send you it via Facebook Messenger. I must now return to the sane world of flag commissions (for money!!) as I have a couple to complete! I have added the French standard to my list but cannot promise when I will be able to create it...

Enjoy! And I hope to see both standards in use with your troops...

Cheers,

David.

I think I know the one. Still, it could have been worse- they may have sewn the standard when they were (comparatively) sober. Getting a decent picture of a blue-arsed fly, for the 2nd Company's standard, may be a bit of a challenge, though.

PS. Excellent work, mate. I think the guidon says "stool" quite eloquently.

Well that escalated quickly...

Absolutely wonderful (and unexpected!) work, as always!

[RMD]

Oh and an excellent rendition of 'Isabelline'!

True; although I don't think anyone has ever seen them do sober work so it's all a bit theoretical... They do provide a very useful service for the dodgier regiments, providing replacement flags for units that have lost them in disgraceful ways so they can pretend they never did lose them - or providing pre-tattered enemy flags so that units can claim, no, we were not actually looting the enemy baggage train, we were heroically defeating the Gardes Francaises (or similar)...

Glad you like the flags; thanks!

Cheers,

David.
