According to Höglund the facings were "isabel coloured" while Schorr notes that the colour was "dark Straw". Although I interpret these colour names as referring to the same shade. Harder to reconcile are on the other hand the following information:

According to Schorr Biron had in 1701 bleumourant facings and stockings, red vests and white neckcloths. Venediger had in 1705 blue facings and stockings, and black neckcloths.

According to Höglund Biron had black facings and vests while Venediger had blue facings and possibly blue stockings. I do not have any explanation to why the information on Biron is different but Höglund also mentions that the regiment's colours were coffee brown in 1706 ("dark coffee" according to Schorr).

The button colour seems to be even more uncertain. Schorr notes pewter for Biron but with brass in paranthesis, and a question mark for Venediger but with pewter in parenthesis. Höglund have no information on the button colour at all.

Moss green facings and pewter buttons. Höglund notes that the vest was moss green while Schorr mentions that the neckcloth was black.

Bleumourant (pale blue) facings and brass buttons. According to Höglund the vest was bleumourant and according to Schorr it was red. Schorr also states that the neckcloth was black.

Moss green facings and brass buttons. According to Höglund the vest was moss green and according to Schorr it was red. Schorr also states that the neckcloth was white.

It is doubtful whether this regiment had completed its recruitment before it was disbanded.

Dark blue facings. Höglund states that the vest was dark blue while Schorr writes that it was red. According to Höglund they had pewter buttons while Schorr notes brass buttons with pewter in parenthesis. Schorr also mentions that the neckcloth was white.

Sea green facings and brass buttons. Schorr adds that the vest was red and the neckcloth was black.

It is doubtful whether this regiment had completed its recruitment before it was disbanded.

Green facings and brass buttons. Höglund also mentions that the vest was green.

Grey facings and brass buttons. Höglund also mentions that the vest was grey.

Flemming's/Mannig's/Seidlitz' Battalions
(disbanded 1702)

Could have been different names of at least two temporary (grenadier?) battalions. No information on the uniform is known.

According to Höglund the facings and vest were pale blue and the buttons were of brass. The colours consisted in 1706 of two dark grey and two crimson colours.

Schorr writes that the facings and vest were red in 1701 (and that they had pewter buttons and white neckcloths). In 1703 the facings and stockings were grey, the vest red and the neckcloth black. He notes brass buttons but with pewter in parenthesis.

According to Höglund the uniform is unknown but Schorr states that the facings and vest were red, buttons of brass and the neckcloth white. Schorr also writes that it is unknown whether the battalion wore grenadier caps.

The uniforms of both regiments are unknown. The former was raised from Swiss prisoners of war taken during the War of the Spanish Succession.

Grey facings and pewter buttons. According to Höglund the vest was grey and according to Schorr it was red and the neckcloth was black.

It was raised in 1705 with privates taken from the militia. These had according to Höglund light grey coats with red or blue facings. However, he thinks that the regiment most likely was issued new uniforms which are unknown. Schorr on the other hand writes that they had grey coats with red facings and vests as well as pewter buttons and white neckcloths.

Raised in 1709 (as a grenadier battalion?) and became an infantry regiment in 1711.

Blue facings and vests as well as brass buttons. Schorr also mentions leather breaches.

The privates wore dark blue coat with facings, vest and lining in crimson. Pewter buttons, leather breaches, grey stockings, black neckcloth and white lace on the tricorne hat. The drummers wore crimson coat and breeches, white facings, lining and lace along the sleeves. NCOs had silver edged cuffs but were other than that dressed just like the privates. Officers had crimson breeches, buttons and buttonholes in gold, white neckcloth and a sash in silver and black.

Schorr has no information about this regiment but Höglund mentions that the coat was blue with pewter buttons and red facings. The vest was red, the breeches were of leather and the stockings were light grey.

Unknown uniform. Höglund writes that it was possibly grey with red facings.

This corps was created either in 1715 or 1729 and it was disbanded 1731. This was not a combat unit but merely a palace guard located in Dresden. The uniform was in Turkish style and according to Höglund it consisted of a yellow janissary cap, yellow coat, red vest, red breeches and yellow boots. The officers wore a turban.

The image to the right show a different uniform and it is taken from Reinhold Müller's book "Die Armee Augusts des Starken" from 1984. In the text the coats are described as sea green "oberkleider" hanging all the way to the ankles and worn over yellow "unterkleider".

In 1700 it had black hats with yellow lace (gold yellow according to Höglund). Grey coat with facings and lining in red as well as brass buttons (Schorr states that the coat possibly had a collar). The vests and stockings were red. According to Höglund the breeches were also red but according to Schorr they were of leather. Schorr also mentions that the officers had gold lace on their tricornes and a sash in red and silver which was carried over the shoulder.

Höglund states that the uniform was changed in 1717 when the coat became green with facings, lining and collar in red. The vest and breeches became straw yellow and the stockings grey. The hat still had gold yellow lace.
