Danish flags 1848-50

Or Napoleonic would do. I've looked on the web but can only find Marlburian flags for the Danes and they aren't right. Does anyone know of a source? Many thanks in anticipation.

Ralph Weaver, of the Continental Wars Society, produced an excellent little book for Partizan press in 2007  entitled "The Armies of the First Schleswig-Holstein War 1848-51.   It contains lots of information that is difficult to find elsewhere, including a basic description of the Danish flags.  Well worth investing in from Dave Ryan's Caliver Books site!

Thanks for this, Mollinary. I have a copy of the book and it is, as you say, first rate. While it does give illustrations of the Danish flags I mistrust my shaky old hands as far as painting my own is concerned
If push comes to shove, however, that is what I'll do. It would be nice to have something beautifully printed, however!

Try googling Denmark Army Flags

I create them on Powerpoint and then print them.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I think finding on the net and printing to scale will be the answer.

I create them on Powerpoint and then print them.

Ditto, except that I use Serif Drawplus. Easier than you think using the "basic shapes" menu.

(I wouldn't trust my palsied digits to paint them either, General)

Thanks for this. Good to know that technology is our friend (not always the case, I fear )

Danes should be draped in bearskins and armed with great big axes. Let's get real here.
