The Ducal Colour of Saxe-Coburn und Buchholz

The infantry regiments of the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburn und Buchholz carry two colours into battle, the regimental or Inhaber's colour and the ducal colour.

Here we see the ducal colour, graced by the elegant countenances of Herzog Mikhail Johann von Hollerenschaut on the obverse and Herzogin Genoveva Annalisa Elizabetha on the reverse. The colour is 5 feet square. The material is raw champagne coloured silk, embroidered with laurel wreaths and surrounded by quadruple crowns.

  2. Thanks tradgardmastare!

    I completely agree with your assessment of "a splendid community of petty Duchies and big hearted gamers". It was one of the main attractions to the imagi-nations arena.

    PS. Who knows wherefrom Herr Gruber might have sprung? Any directions to his birthplace are likely to be incomprehensible!

    Cheers,
