I have Victrix paper colours for this regiment, but they look too complicated for this era. They have a sphinx for Egypt below the central device. I hope this pastes in for you to examine. link Would these be proper for the mid-Peninsular War Albuera battle? They served with the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 7th Foot, Royal Fuzileers, City of London Regiment in the 2nd Brigade of Lowry Cole's 4th Division. There was also a company of 60th Rifles, or Brunswick Oels Rifles as well. GdeP |

Yes, the various regiments with the Sphinx on their colours were awarded it in 1802 so correct for the Peninsula. |

They look alright to me. The wreath is a bit ‘thick' but the inclusion of ‘Egypt' and the ‘traditional' badges in the corners are accurate for the period. |

Thanks, all! Not rush, Dibble, as the colours are always the last thing I do for a unit.
As an aside, the 1st Foot is shown with one colour for the Peninsular War, and another for Waterloo. Perhaps the addition of "Peninsula" on the 1815 colours?

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
