Austrian Flags
I found these while looking for pictures of generals. I may try to create some flag artwork using these, once I've finished all the French flags I need for Marengo first.

The flag on the left in the third block (Bohemia) is here in colour as it hangs in Prague castle http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=344346 The one on the right (Mopravia) is in the HGM depot, but is apparently in too fragile condition to be photographed.
The 1804 flag intrigues me. Following Kaindl, I have said that the 1804 was never issued - and this would still appear to be true. However, the flag shown here clearly has some damage to it and the one in the HGM (no longer on display unfortunately) - also shown in Allmayer-Beck: Das Heer unter dem Doppeladler - does not, so obviously more than one Ordinarfahne was made.
