Looking for information as to whether Prussian Hussars and Landwer cavalry ever had standards issued for either parade or campaign purposes please? Any assistance appreciated. Thanks

What period? You need to be more specific. Prior to 1807: Hussar had them ( from prior to and SYW), left them at depot during campaign and lost them in 1806/07. good source link Landwehr Cav- most folks do what they want and using most items offered by flag suppliers ( GMB, maveric etc) since the rule was "they were not to suppose to but may have" ( carrying local made fanions) "rule of thumb" Most of mine do not but I am reconsidering this.

Great Link, MG. Dal Gavan has collated lots of source material to produce that article. It is first class. Mollinary

I a basically looking at period 1792 to 1815. I appreciate there may have been major changes after 1806. Thank you for the link. It looks very informative.

None of my Calpe Hussars or Landwehr cavalry carry standards, only the Dragoons and Cuirassiers.

Dragoons and Cuirassiers only as far as I am aware. The Hussars actually ceased carrying their standards in the field in 1743, after some embarrassing experiences at the hands of Austrian Hussars and Pandours in the first Silesian war.
