The ribbons or 'cravates' were awarded to regiments as battle honours. Some line infantry and cavalry but I do not know about Grenzers etc. Therefore your standards should be a mix of filial with cords and filial with cords and cravates. As to which particular regiments had cravates, it will require checking on the individual regiments. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they were usually present on the battlefield. |
