Flags for Infantry of the Swabian Circle

[18th Century Guy]

Can anyone point me to a source that shows the flags of the infantry from the Swabian Circle in the WSS? I have the 'Imperial Austrian Army 1683-1720' CD and I see infantry regiments with the same names as those found in the Swabian Circle but I know that in some cases there could be two units with the same name in these different armies.

So, can someone help clear that up as well as point me to the flags for this group? Thanks so much.

you could try the book material on the war of spansih sucession book 2 . the armies of the imperial circles of swabia and franconia as well as the bishopric of wuzburgh and the margravate of ansbach by augsut kuhn the book was published by edition broklaw in 1989.

Next question for the Swabians is for the cavalry. Any ideas for them? I'm trying to find on-line pics of the flags if that is at all possible. Thanks again.

Volume 2 of "L'Esercito Imperiale al tempo del Principe Eugenio di Savoia" shows a different flag for the regiment Roth (War Flag Rodt?).
It has seven long blue flames going from top to just a bit short of the bottom with corresponding white flames going bottom to top. Oval shield in the middle with the bottom 2/3 being yellow with three black lions. Top third of oval is black with small white German cross. Oval is surrounded almost completely by a wreath (small gap at top of oval). Authors list original source for this flag as "Besalungsanqaben fur die Zeit des spanischen Erbfolgekrieges" by K.P. Boldberg. Internet search turned up nothing for this source. This three volume set of Eugene's army published by the Soldier Shop is pretty neat...be neater if I could read Italian.

I second this.

The Swabian flags on Warflag are quite decent. Unfortunatelly, the eagle looks quite anorectic ...

Look for trophies captured at Friedlingen.
