Swiss Regiments in the French Army, from C.A. Sapherson's "Marlburian Armies 1701-1721:
Castellas
Villars
Brendle
Greder Suisses
Surbeck
May
Courten
Pfieffer
Vigier I seem to remember that May was in red coats with blue cuffs. I think the Swiss tended to wear red in French service. That's a start, anyway. |

You cannot beat the Hall plates. There is a CD of French uniforms available. |
