How big is an Austrian SYW cuirassier regimental flag?

Post by ochoin »

The subject line says it all.

After much effort, I've found *one* example (O'Donell's Regt - not my first choice but...). I'll need to re-size & print but can't find a source for the size of the flag.

Any help will be appreciated.

Whoops!
Person, woman, man, camera, TV!

I blame late night, early morning. I’ll leave it to Etranger! In the back of my head I have Two by Two but perhaps not trust my judgement today...

Summerfield has them as square, 80 cm X 80 cm. He has illustrated examples but I can't find them online.

You could 'cheat' and just use the Leibstandarte, of which there was one per regiment.

There are some 15mm examples here https://www.ebay.ie/itm/15mm-Seven-Year ... 4214276901
