Standards

Until 1735 the regiment carried four standards made of yellow silk. The royal sun with the king's foreign exchange ribbon Nec pluribus impar was placed on it . There were embroidered fleurs de lys in the four corners . All decorative embroidery and the fringes were made in gold. Both sides were the same.

After that, the regiment led four ponceau red standards with decorations as before, whereby the edges were underlaid in white in the Vogué regiment, but black in the regiment de Fiennes cavalerie. On the back of the Vogué regiment was a picture field with a rooster and the currency ribbon "Vigi Lans et Audax" (Vigilant and bold).
