Thank you Greystreak...

This is a really interesting site... I have had a good rummage around... Sadly the one thing missing is hard info on 1786-1796  :o

It does make me question whether the regulations were ever fully imposed or with a drive back to a Prussian look after Catherine's death the Potemkin style was simply discarded with out a second thought!!!

At the moment my temptation is to have the cavalry with the same standards as the infantry but smaller and with a fringed edging ... :?

All the best. Aly
