Von Eppinger's Dragoons 1690s Drum colours?
« on: 21 February 2022, 11:13:28 PM »
I'm currently painting Eppinger's Dragoons aka the Dutch Gard Dragonders.  I've decided to do the drummers and so I'm stuck.  Does anyone have any idea of what colours their drums were painted?

Much obliged for any illumination.

The only information I found is on Plate 9 in Armies and Enemies of Louis XIV Vol. I by Mark Allen. Shown is a drum in the same greyish colour as the uniform, with rim and cords in black like the facings.

Thanks for that Amsivar.  I guess it makes sense that it followed the uniform.
