Also an 1831 pattern French infantry hanger, although it may well be a Crimean War period Russian one - I believe that they were the same, I can't tell the difference & what's visible of the markings doesn't mean anything to me.

Cheers Tony.
Apparently the actual flag attached to the staff wasn't of any import to the French - what mattered was that Eagle.

Just reading a bit more about the captured eagle after stumbling on information about the Royal Anglian Regt eagle arm badge. Should probably know a bit more about my "local" regiment

I hadn't realised the French Eagle was based on the Roman Imperial Eagle. You live and learn.

Should you head to Duxford there is some good stuff but not really about the formation of the Regiments that made the Royal Anglians. I took pride in sewing my eagle onto my No2s back in 1998. It is on one of my albums.
