Hello, guys !
Next question in my Neverending Pendraken WSS Quiz:
Name the unit shown on the photo below.


More pictures (or more hints) on my blog http://zealandbayonets.blogspot.com/

[GordonY]

Ermmm, some unit of donkey-wallopers?

[goat major]

hints, hints, where are the the hints ?! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I shall call it... Donald!

[maciek]

hints, hints, where are the the hints ?! 

On the photos 
I see at least two ...

[goat major]

Blimey - more cryptic than Dusty Bin !

You need to do some AWI ones I might have half a chance on them

[Shecky]

Something from the house of wittlesbach in the service of Spain?

[Shecky]

Forget what I said earlier...
Is it the Risbourg Dragoons?

[maciek]

Is it the Risbourg Dragoons?

no

[Leon]

I'm doing my best using Kronoskaf, so I'll throw a few guesses out there!

Spain - Brigada de Carabineros Reales?

Scrap that!

Borbon cavalry?!

[Leon]

Bah, that's not it.  The saddlecloths are throwing me now...   

[Shecky]

Is it the Valansart dragoons"?

[maciek]

Is it the Valansart dragoons"?

No.

[Shecky]

Are they dragoons? 

[maciek]

Are they dragoons? 

I can't say. But if you examine the photos carefully, you will easilly find the answer 

[goat major]

Can I just interrupt the mass scratching of heads to observe that these are beautifully painted figures . The horses are particularly impressive.

[Grenadier]

I've been out of town for a few days and come home to see a challenge! Finally, some others with responses, I like to see that. OK, lets see, first I look at the standard. Hmmm, red lion rampant on a blue shield?  Surely it's not Scottish. Nope. Castile has a red lion but the castles are missing. This is tough! Knowing Macieck it is OBSCURE. Luxembourg has a rampant red lion but I'm not aware of any contingent units during the WSS. I will offer up the vague guess of a unit of dragoons from one of the many members of the Palatinate as the Palatinate flag has one member(i don't know who) with a rampant red lion.
I got nothin' else.

[maciek]

Hmmm ...
When selecting photos for the blog, I tried no to show to much, beacuse I considered this question easy. Much easier than the previous ...
But maybe I made it to difficult, so I added two more photos to the blog. Hope it helps.

Not my period, and I don't have my 'Lexicon der Heraldik' handy. But what you have on the flag seems a red-white striped lion, otherwise known as a 'Bunter Löwe'. Since the first stripe is red, rather than white, it would be the symbol of Thüringen (otherwise it would be Hessen).  No idea on the unit, but everybody says dragoons, so I'll say some unit of dragoons from Thüringen.

Or maybe it is Hessen, since Thüringen doesn't seem to be involved, but Hessen is?

[Grenadier]

Well, now that I see a magnified view of the standard and with a big assist from OldenBUA, I dub thee,  Erbprinz Dragoon regiment of Hessen-Kassel which had a part in the storming of the Schellenberg on 2nd July, 1704.
