The uniforms of the Saxon army were most likely very typical for European armies of this age but unfortunately not much is known about them. The information I have about their infantry (and artillery) uniforms is presented on this page (the cavalry has a separate page). The main sources to this information are two publications that are not entirely consistent with each other: Daniel Schorr's article "Notes on the Saxon Army 1700-1716" (previously published on his now defunct website www.northernwars.com), and Lars-Eric Höglund's book "Stora nordiska kriget 1700-1721, III".

General Uniform Information

  Privates Drummers Officers & NCOs
Hat: Black felt hat with the brim folded up in different ways. The tricorne hat spread slowly and probably did not become standard until at least 1707. According to Daniel Schorr, the hat lace would correspond to the button colour (brass = yellow, pewter = white), but Höglund also states other colours. A white cockade was possibly on the left side of the hat. Officers probably had gold or silver lace while NCOs may have had silver lace. Regimental officers may also have had white feathers on their hats.
Neckcloth: It was probably standard to have both a white and black neckcloth but some regiments had red ones. After 1707, the neckcloth was tied behind the neck instead of having a cravat as before.
Coat:

Red coat 1695-1733 (then white) At first the buttons covered the entire length of the coat, but around 1707 this was changed so that they only went to the waist. Horizontal pocket flaps with three buttons. Possibly a shoulder strap on the left side for the cartridge box belt.

Facings and lining in the regimental colour. The cuffs had three buttons each.

The drummers may have had lace on their sleeves (probably in the button colour) and a collar in the regimental colour. Sometime after 1707, the lace on the sleeves disappeared and were replaced with red swallow's nests edged with the regimental colour on the shoulders.

Officers: Probably gold or silver buttons.

NCOs: May have had a collar and silver lace on the cuffs.

Kamisol (Vest): Red vest, but it could also be in the regimental colour. Similar to the coat, it had buttons along the entire length of the vest, however these were of a smaller size. After 1707 the vest may have had a collar worn over the coat. Höglund consistently states that the vest was in the regimental colour. My images follow Höglund unless Schorr explicitly states that the regiment had a red vest.
Breeches: Usually leather but some regiments had cloth breeches. The officers of Wostromirsky had red cloth breeches and probably the officers of the other regiments also had cloth breeches.
Stockings: Usually grey-white or white stockings. Some regiments, however, had stockings in the regimental colour.
Shoes: Black shoes with brass buckle.
Belts and gauntlets: Buff leather. Officers' waist belts may have been covered with material in the regimental colour and trimmed with gold or silver.
Sword and scabbard: Sword hilt made of white metal and scabbard of dark brown leather.
Specific equipment:

Flintlock muskets, socket bayonets and swords. matchlock muskets and plug bayonets were, however, still in use in some regiments at the beginning of the war.

Cartridge box and grenadier box in brown or black leather. Cartridge box belt made of buff leather with a priming horn attached to it.

The second and third ranks of the battalion also carried boar spear ("swine feathers"), which were used to create chevaux de frise as protection against cavalry.

Wooden drums painted red with descending flames in the regimental colour so that triangle patterns are formed. The top and bottom edges painted in alternating vertical or diagonal stripes in red and in the regimental colour.

In addition to this, the drum also had the coat of arms of Augustus the Strong (the coat of arms of Saxony plus the coat of arms of Poland-Lithuania) on a white background.

NCOs had halberds. Officers had spontoons with a design that varied in the different regiments.

The gorget as a distinction for officers was introduced in 1715 and was of silver with the royal cypher in gold (the letters FA under a crown).

The sash was also officially introduced for officers in 1715 but had probably been worn earlier although the colours before then are unknown. In 1715 it would have the colours silver and crimson. It was usually worn over the shoulder but it is possible that it was also worn around the waist.

 


Grenadier Cap
 


Saxon Guard Grenadier

Front:

The front plate was usually of stiff red cloth edged with the regimental or button colour. The edge could be straight or scalloped. If there was a front flap, it was normally in the regimental colour or red. It too was edged.

A plate of brass or pewter with the coat of arms of Saxony was normally attached to the front. There could also be a number of grenades, also made of brass or pewter. The front also had a metal emblem with the regimental name, either brass or pewter (one regiment, Kurprinz, had copper).

Back: The rear flap could be red or in the regimental colour, also trimmed with the regimental or button colour
Bag: Either a hanging bag or a bag attached to the front plate so that the cap looked like a mitre. It was either red or in the regimental colour and trimmed in the button or regimental colour. The tuft was normally in the button colour.

As the army was reorganised in 1707, 1716-1717 and 1730-1733 and new uniforms were issued in large numbers, these dates may be times when the uniforms underwent major changes.

Also of interest is information from Rehnsköld in 1704 that Augustus the Strong had made uniforms "in the Swedish manner " in that Saxons are said to have appeared with blue coats with small cuffs and white lace on their hats (Bellander p. 224). One Saxon dragoon regiment (DR 9) is reported to have had blue coats replaced with red in 1704 but maybe there were more.

Polish Guard
(Polnische Garde and from 1712: 1. Gardesregiment)

1707


1701
White facings, white vest, pewter buttons, black neckcloth.


1707

The Guard regiments, which were temporarily merged in about 1706 (" Doppelregiment Garde "), may have had collars on their coats as a sign of their higher rank, according to Schorr. Both Guards regiments had cartridge boxes of black leather edged with a red cord on the flap and a round badge of brass with the coat of arms of Saxony and a crown. The Guard regiments' grenadier boxes had instead of the emblem the royal name cypher in brass (the letters FAR under a crown).

According to Schorr, there is conflicting information about the neckcloth colour. One source (Kuhn) states that both regiments had red neckcloths while another (Dietrich) states that they had white neckcloths. Dietrich also depicts the Saxon Guard with yellow facings, but this is likely a later uniform. Schorr considers it likely that the regiments had several neckcloths of different colors and mentions that the Saxon Guard had black neckcloths.

Schorr also mentions an illustration which probably depicts a grenadier officer in a Guard regiment around 1716. He has a tricorne hat with silver lace, white feathers and a white cockade on the left side. The right shoulder has an aiguillette in white/silver. The waist belt and cartridge box belt are trimmed with silver lace. The cartridge box is of buff leather with the flap trimmed with silver and fitted with a silver plaque with a crown. The officer wears a black neckcloth and is armed with a flintlock musket.

Höglund states that both Guard regiments had white wests, red hat lace and buttonholes embroidered in white. However, the button colors he states are incorrect as he has admitted to me that he mixed up the regiments.

Both Guard regiments had in 1700 white colours with decoration matching the button color (brass buttons = gold decoration and pewter buttons = silver decoration). In 1701, they were replaced with colours that had the coat of arms of Poland and a red border as decoration. Six new white colours were made for the Guard in 1706 but were not issued until after the Swedish army left Saxony. In 1715, another 15 new white colours were issued.

1701

Facings and vest lemon yellow (a 1715 source describes the colour as "sulphur yellow"). Red neckcloth and pewter buttons. The grenadier caps had a copper plate with the regimental name on the front.

Höglund adds that the hats had white brims and that the scarves were white. The latter does not necessarily contradict the statement of red scarves as they may have had several.

Lemon yellow colours with silver decorations in 1700.

Raised in 1680. Changed its name to "Crown Prince" in 1713 according to Höglund. According to Schorr it changed its name to "Königl. Prinz" in 1717.

1701

Königin
("Queen's Regiment")

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:

Höglund: Isabel coloured vest, brass buttons.
Schorr: Red vest, pewter buttons.

However, both agree that the neckcloths were white and Höglund states that the hats had white lace.

The regimental colour was the same as for Königin, which Höglund calls "isabel" and Schorr calls "dark straw" even though these probably are the same shade.

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 parenthesis, and a question mark for Venediger but with pewter in parenthesis. Höglund has no information on the button colour at all.

A Danish source from 1715 states that the regiment's colour was then blue.

Dark blue colours with silver decorations in 1701.

The regiment was raised in 1701. According to Höglund, Fürstenberg was succeeded as colonel by Kaiser in 1706. But according to Schorr it was Braun who succeeded Fürstenberg and this only happened in 1716. In the battle of Malplaquet a Saxon battalion was led by "Fürstenburg" and also the Danish source from 1715 names the regiment as Fürsstenberg.

According to Höglund, it was decided in August 1706 that the regiment was to have green colours. These were exchanged at an unknown time and in 1715 two of them were reused by von Friesen's militia regiment ("green and red – with Polish coat of arms and name cipher").

Dresden Garrison Battalion

Raised in 1701. Unknown uniform. Höglund writes that it was possibly grey with red facings. Had a white colonel's colour and a blue "Ordinärfahne" (no decorations has been described).

Janissary Corps

This corps was created either in 1715 or 1729 and it was disbanded in 1731. This was not a combat unit but rather 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 they 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 worn 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. However, Alexander Querengasser mentions in his article "The Saxon Army in the Great Northern War" that the first companies received green coats as early as 1700.

Carriages and wagons were painted black with the metal fittings painted yellow.
