Swiss Napoleonic Streamers on Eagles

If you have no books on the subject, the cheap alternative is to check Pinterest online .  :)

Have checked all my source books, whilst not an extensive collection I cannot find anything in them and Pinterest has not yet provided an answer.  There appear to be tricolour bows suggested by the Perry miniatures uniform sheet in the French Infantry box set but although lots on Swiss uniforms the Perries do not include streamers on their eagles....hmmmmm

I have only seen eagles and tricolour flags, no streamers, in books.

Glad to be of help . When I saw  “ streamers “ , I immediately thought of the streamers attached to the halberds  carried by the Porte Eagles who accompanied the Standard Bearer.
