The Histofig site has a description of the Regiment Isembourgh and pictures of their uniforms. It also states: Flags
First three battalions were granted with an eagle and a flag of Challiot type, motto unknown. Regiment is granted in 1813 with a flag of new type, without battle honours, probably with the inscription : L'EMPEREUR
NAPOLEON

I have that info, but didn't know what a "flag of Challiot type" meant. I couldn't find a description of it. Is that the 1804 issue French flag. |

I had not come across the term Challiot style flag before, but when I googled "challiot flag" it came up with links to the 1804 pattern. Rod |

It IS the 1804 model, as used by the line regiments. The light regiments had slightly different scroll work. |
