Any suggestions for flags suitable for this range?
I suppose, in this scale, I might get away with British Napoleonic.
It's something I'd like to add at some point but I've not started looking for reference info yet. From a brief conversation with the sculptor years ago there's info about the British flags (as you say, mostly Napoleonic-type designs) but a lot of the Indian flags were destroyed after the war? I might have got that wrong though...
Hello
Nothing much in 10mm, there's stuff in 28mm and 15mm from http://adrianswalls.co.uk/IndianMutinyBritishFlags3 (http://adrianswalls.co.uk/IndianMutinyBritishFlags3) and https://www.empressminiatures.com/indian-mutiny-flags-114-c.asp (https://www.empressminiatures.com/indian-mutiny-flags-114-c.asp). Maybe they can rescale.
Grimsby Wargames Society had beautiful flag sheets available to print but not available on the web right now apart from a few examples on third party pages.

They have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/1416022955204847 (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1416022955204847), maybe they can help
Incidentally I found some of their Boxer flags on the Web Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20140527014133/http://grimsbywargamessociety.webs.com:80/flagdownloads.htm (https://web.archive.org/web/20140527014133/http://grimsbywargamessociety.webs.com:80/flagdownloads.htm)

Not really. British colours were smaller by the time of the Mutiny but more importantly the central design had changed and all the Napoleonic and post-Napoleonic battle honours had been added. Your best bet are 28mm flags, such as Empress Miniatures', which cover British, native regiments and mutineers flags. Copy them, reduce them and print them yourself, keeping the originals as masters. It is what I do for many periods that aren't available in 10mm.

If you Google Indian Mutiny wargames flags you will find others, including on EBay.
Many thanks for those suggestions.
