Regular Cavalry 
Regimental Colors
 

The flags of some regiments, particularly the cuirassier regiments,  were in a bad state by 1860, having been issued in 1807 or 1815. 

Those marked as obliterated were totally destroyed. those as tattered were 50% missing and that marked ragged was less than 50% missing.

Type 2 center field and corner wreath field appears at one time to have been red, but since their issue in 1815 had faded to an orange.

Dragoon regiment 3 may have carried a swallow tailed guidon.

Approximate sized 50 - 60 cm square.
