What colour are the finials on British Napoleonic flags?

Pretty much all the ones I’ve seen modelled have brass / gold finials and gold braids with a few steel tipped “spears”.

Thanks Digits, gold it shall be then!

James, you must model the flags being held high if you are to out-do Digits.
he has very high standards!

Has.been, I think I need to flag this as an issue.

For such bad jokes, you two need bannering

I only thought I would run it up the flagpole & see who salutes it.

Is brass/gold the finial answer?

Believe the cords and tassels were crimson and gold mixed. (from Men-at-Arms 78)
