I have written a piece on Austrian flags as this subject is one where little bits and pieces turn up all over the place. I am not sure how to copy links on an iPad, but it can be found under ‘Flags of the Imperial Austrian Army of the Napoleonic Wars’. There is an attempt by a recent researcher to list all the changes in each regiment in the Nachlasse in the Kriegsarchiv, but he made the mistake of thinking the 1804 pattern was widely issued. However, I will try to dig it out again on a future trip and add the details in - not easy these days, as it is only three cartons per day Monday to Thursday.

Yes, 1806 pattern, but with blue ribbons at the top. Original painting error followed by a catalogue error followed by my copying that without checking the artefact first. Not a great tale.
