I guess by 1817 they'd combined with Baden? I'll change the flag on my units, thanks for the info.
I got the Baden flag here, as it looked more interesting than the Baden state flag. Could it be the Ducal standard?
as for the Württemberg garde du Corps, this is a complicated story. Württemberg has a Guard Cavalry Regiment of four squadrons. the first squadron being the Garde Jäger, the second being the Garde du Corps and the last two being Horse Grenadiers. all three types have unique parade uniforms, those of the Garde du Corps is the one you have depicted. however, as for war-time service, all squadrons were ordered to wear the uniform of the Horse Grenadiers (the uniform of the Guard Jäger remaining green however but this is only a minor detail). so the regiment would have a standardized appearance on the battlefield. but, and here's the next twist, the Guard Cavalry Regiment would only serve in war with the king of Württemberg and as we know he never took the field in person so this regiment, incl. the GdC never saw any actual combat.
i hope my description was useful for your understanding of the Württemberg Army. if you have more questions about organization and units please ask.

and thanks for your efforts in making those wonderful units. sometimes however it is difficult getting heavy and light cavalry for each nations as often those small states were too poor to have a large and diverse army like the big players. btw only France had the categorioes of heavy, medium and light, most other countries only made a difference bewteen heavy and light cavalry.
Thanks for your explanations!
