In 1798, the Wuerttemberg army was reorganised. The new infantry arm consisted of five musketeer battalions and one grenadier battalion, each of which were presented with a pair of the Herzogtum Falmenmuster 1798 (Pattern 1798 Ducal Colours). These colours bore the same design on both sides, namely a heraldic, red lined, ermine cloak with yellow fringe, bearing the Ducal Arms. Similar small devices bearing the FII cypher decorated each corner. Crowns were in natural colours; with red linings. Beneath the central device is the Herzogliche Militaerverdienst-Orden on a yellow band and below that the Herzogliche St Hubertus-Orden.

Figure 1. Pattern 1798 Ducal Colours.

The Pattern 1798 Ducal Colours are illustrated at Figure 1. They were made of double sided coloured silk measuring 140cm x 140cm with a 6cm yellow (apparently) fringe on all four sides, and both sides. The finial was a gilt spear point with the FII cypher on the obverse, and middle shield from the Ducal Arms on the reverse. The orginal staffs no longer exist and, therefore, their appearance and the method of fixing the colours is not known.

Distribution was as follows.

Grenadier-Bataillon von Zobel:2 White (probably).
Musketier-Bataillon von Mylius:2 Lemon yellow.
Musketier-Bataillon von Seeger:2 Ponceau (poppy) red.
Musketier-Bataillon von Perglas:2 Turquoise blue.
Musketier-Bataillon von Beulwitz:2 Rose red (pink).
Musketier-Bataillon von Obernitz:2 Light blue.

These colours were carried until 1813 when they were replaced by Koenigreich Falmenmuster 1813 (Pattern 1813 Royal Colours) being retained by the first battalions of the new regiments raised in 1806.

The Ducal Arms are illustrated at Figure 2, consisting of the arms of the Duchy's various provinces and other component parts, surrounding the central arms of the Duchy itself

Figure 2. Ducal Arms

The legend is as follows.

1 . Black/gold dicing: Teck.
2. Yellow pennant with a black eagle (Reichssturmfahne), blue field: Groeningen.
3. Silver 'ragged staff on blue field: justingen.
4.Bust in natural colours, red clothes and hat, trimmed blue, with a silver neck band on a gold field: Heidenheim.
5. Silver half moon on red field: Boermingheim.
6. Silver pointed device on red field: Franken.
7.I had some difficulty with these devices which are described as "5 silbernen Heerkolben von Limpurg". Heer has the connotation of 'military' in this context, whilst kolben are 'clubs' amongst other things, so I suppose these may be described in heraldic terms as maces. Kolben, apparently, is also slang for a penis. Whatever they are, they are silver on a blue field: Limpurg.
8. Gold barbel on a red field: Moempelgard.
9. Black antlers on a gold field: Wuerttemberg.
