grenadier ...
very close ...
But, ... what can we say about dragoon flags in WSS. Did they have any peculiarites ...? Size ? Shape ? Border ... ?    (second hint)

[Grenadier]

Oh crud Maciek!  These must be the Markgraf Philipp Wilhelm Regiment of Horse!  They carried carbines? Yes, it makes sense, the small standard, everything blue... I had almost given up. Now that I've spent the better part of my day doing this, I'm off to have a gin and tonic!

This time it's Pawel Chrzanowski's work (but in my collection).
As usually, your task is to identify the unit.





Good luck, guys !

No idea what-so-ever but they are beautifully painted .

Well, a french regiment of Swiss I think, but which one I do not know.

[maciek]

Oh, c'mon guys.
Still no replies ?
It's so easy, so easy...

Now I'm off for the weekend. I'll be back monday morning. Please try to guess without hints.
Only note two things, that are really important...   hmm ...

[Grenadier]

Ok, I just returned from a week in Yellowstone Park and I see a challenge.  Too easy Maciek, it's the Swiss regiment, Schmid de Gruneck, one of four Swiss regiments in the service of Holland.  Although one usually jumps to the conclusion that Swiss regiments were a part of Frances's armies, they can be found in the service of several countries. Money is money, as they say.
Also, I must say, very fine work indeed.

Indeed. it was very easy. Officer with orange sash holds Swiss style flag. They only could be the one of few Swiss regiment on Dutch pay.
