Its back to my 15mm Vienna 1683 project for my first October post of the year.
May I present the Graf Herbeville Dragoons
The figures are as per usual from my favourite 15mm manufacturer Essex Miniatures.
The flags are pure conjecture and made up, I'm afraid, as I couldn't find any information on their banners at all.
The regiment were raised on 15th March 1683, because of the threat from the Turks, by Col Oberst Ludwig Count Herbeville.
Primarily raised from men from Lower Austria, but 200 men were transferred from the Sarau Dragoons and 100 men each from the Schulz, Castell and Kueffstien regiments.
