Fanion-bearer Officer
Fanion-bearer Officer
The 2e régiment de chevau-légers lanciers de la Garde Impériale, also known as the Lanciers Rouges were a light cavalry regiment in Napoleon I's Imperial Guard.
Fanion-bearer Officer
They were formed in 1810, after Holland merged with France, but their original purpose was to serve as hussars of the Dutch Royal Guard.
The units, who were of an elite order, were known for their loyalty and military might, as well as their professionalism in and out of battle.
When the men of the Guard were converted into the new unit of the horse-mounted Red Lancers, they were gifted with a new scarlet-coloured uniform that was responsible for their name, as well as a new set of weapons.
They also received a new leader - Baron Pierre David de Colbert-Chabanais - under whom they were known properly as the 2nd Light Horse Lancers of Napoleon's Imperial Guard (2e régiment de chevaux-légers des Lanciers de la Garde Impériale).

27/01/2023Belle pièce de collection. La plaque descriptive sur la face avant du socle est appréciable. Un seul petit regret : la hampe du drapeau glisse à l'intérieur de la main et il n'est pas facile de maintenir le drapeau à la hauteur indiquée sur la photo. (Peut-être ajouter un petit relief sur la hampe à la hauteur adéquate pour empêcher le glissement ?)
