Riehn, Richard. Articles, based largely on Fiebig and Redlin, on Prussian colours are to be found in the, now defunct, American "Campaigns" magazine nos. 24 and 25, and on standards in the same nos. 30 and 31.

Redlin, Rheinhold. Die Fahnen & Standarten der preussischen Feldregimenter, written in the 1950's It is quite impressive, giving not only detailed descriptions of the standards but also including quite detailed drawings. Redlin seems to have drawn heavily on the Dessäuer Spezifcation (DS- sorry about the spelling) as his primary source and doesn't (as far as I can tell with my near-illiterate grasp of German) mention the standarten of DR Nr 4 that used to be in St Petersburg (which are gold and blue- completely unlike the DS).
