Hi Mike
This set is one of the nicest about this period

Two remarks
They are not dragoons but Horse Grenagiers of the King Household
The flag is wrong
I join a little plate with flags of the household cavalry

Nice painted.
I like this old figures which are turned a little out of the profile. A Thing you donĀ“t so often with modern figures. I have some 30years war horsemen here, engraved by Frank and edited by Heinrichsen which turned the same way. Very nice and great fun to paint.

Thanks Eric I couldn't find the right flag and couldn't see it well enough in alexanders douchkine book. Is it the flag on the bottom right?  If so I'll Repaint it. Thanks!


These guys are a lot of fun to paint - highly recommended!

Hello Mike

The picture of Eric is just the one of the central cartouche.

Here is a drawing of the total standard. It is for the years 1734-1748 but it is correct for the period interesting you.
