Rigo gives this
Moullard however give a different array od colours, the red / white wavy stripes top and bottom and blue / white at the sides, rigo goes the other way – any ideas would is more likley of 1780? |

Aren't they the same, both have red/white at the top and blue/white at the sides. Rigo has turned the flag on its side to fit it on the page which is a bit misleading. |

Kronoskaf.com lists the ordonnance flag with wavy red and blue bands as of 1771, according to the painting by Chaligny. link Cheers, |

Drapeau Colonel, not King's Flag, to be pedantic. |

I called it he King's Drapeau so I could skate on Error. I FORGOT what it was really called!  |

@Clibinarium
Right you are, I should look closer, you solved the mystery for me, thank you. |

Huh?????
I see five different flags on the page. Which ones are the same? |

Just Royal Deux Ponts; Rigo is the plate in the 1st post, Moulliard is this one
The confusion arose because the in the Rigo plate the flag is turned on its side to fit into the available space. |

The sideways crown in the centre of the Rigo flag would've been interesting!!!! |
| von Winterfeldt | 18 Mar 2012 11:59 p.m. PST |
the crown is not sideways – I was trapped by that illlustration because it is sideways in contrast to the rest of the colour, Clibinarium did spot this well, so tp say – spot on. |
| Arteis | 20 Mar 2012 1:48 a.m. PST |
I know it is not sideways, vW. I was just amused at you initially noticing the apparent inconsistency with the wavy stripes, but entirely missing the much more obvious 'sideways' crown ;-) But I'm not the most observant person in the world, either, so I really can't talk … |
