Like Prussian Reserve and L/W units, Spanish irregular units had a varity of unigue flags without many surviving examples. From my understanding mostly Roman Catholic themes. I am painting such units does any company sell such flags? I am a decent minatures painter put painting flags is way out of my league. |

Perhaps Adolfo Ramos had some, though I can't recall if they are for the Carlist or Peninsular war. Some units had very simple designs. Just plain white with some motto like "Viva Fernando VII" and the like. A. |

Since there do appear to be very few surviving examples, perhaps you can use a bit of licence and go with a few Rennaissance/Thirty Years War flags. If you are looking at 15mm, perhaps something like: link link I started on some 15mm Spanish militia only the day before yesterday and was going to exclude the flag-bearer, but your post started me thinking. I have used GMB for the line, but am now thinking this will provide a good opportunity for a bit of variety. I will be interested to see what you finally decide upon. |

And there's this other TMP thread where I describe some Volunteer flags and others comment on different aspects of them: TMP link |
