In the covered period, two flags were issued at each regiment : one Leibfahne carried by 1st battalion and one Ordinärfahne carried by 2nd battalion.
Leibfahnen of the 1803 type were made of white silk with a border of three rows of diced pattern of alternate white and blue diamonds, centre field bearing the Bavarian arms. Following the elevation of the electorate to kingdom in 1808, the centre field of the flags of 1808 type bears the new arms of the kingdom.
Ordinärfahnen are of two types. The first is similar to Leibfahnen but in blue silk, the second is entirely covered by the diced pattern.
Flags are decorated by a blue silk tie with gold fringes. Staves were initially covered by blue velvet and then (1813) by black leather, with brass finial embossed with royal cipher.
