Looking for flags for 1870 Landwehr. Either some to purchase or a picture I can use to make my own.

Thanks,

David

OK, guys, listen very carefully, I will post this only once! Google. historischer-bilderdienst.de. On the home page you will find a list of categories. Click on Fahne, Flaggen und Standarten. On that page the first entry , top left is Preussische Fahnen...................... seit 1807. Click on it. Towards the bottom of the page that opens are three red bars. The second has Leuchtisch written on it. Click on it and a new page opens with illustrations of Prussian flags. Click on the illustration at the extreme right of the top row, and you will see the design of Prussian Landwehr flags in use in 1870. These are actually also the style of flags carried by the Guard Fusilier Regiment's first two battalions, which originated in the Guard Landwehr.

Nice one. Looked at it and bookmarked it for future reference for when I paint my FPW Germans.

When I click on "light table" on the second red bar I don't see any flag illustrations. I just get a link for Hessian Flags.

Got it now. Don't translate it to English. Should not have made any difference but it did. Thanks for links. Thanks to everyone for the welcoming me.
