Photos of Swedish
regimental colours
from 1769 to 1819
Here are some photos
of drawings stored at the Swedish War-archive (Krigsarkivet) collection no 0418.
I have only taken photos of a small portion of the colours in the collection.
They are to represent typical styles or some odd ones.
I have made my own
drawings of the most of
the colours found in the collection.
A warning: I have been
informed that not all colours in the collection were actuary issued to
the units. I will try y to sort this out. Meanwhile enjoy the pictures...
Cavalry and dragoons
had the regimental sign on the left side and the royal monogram on the right
side.
Infantry had the
regimental sign on both sides.
