I am searching for someone or one's that can tell me why some Regimentals depict the flag upside down( Red,White,Black). Recent example of that can be seen in Gary's latest auction Hussar Lieb # 418 . I have others in my collection that I never really noticed before. Looking thru my old auction catalogs, I find 70 Regimentals like that. That eliminates "mistake" to me. I seem to get a feeling that it has something to do with "protest" coming from units whose states or principalities lost something in the Austro-Prussian War . There are many Brandenburg Garde units which baffels my theory , but perhaps the soldiers themselves came from other locations. I would be glad to give anyone the units and states of those units if it might help the thought process.
