Kaiser Alexander Garde Grenadier officers miter for the Grenadier Batl

[KAGGR#1]

O K
I might do that

Here are the parade miters for the 1 Garde Regt zu Fuss .
I will start with the enlisted man back when the regiment wore the older miter
before they got the new silver miters and this model was handed down to the
KAGGR#1 less the "Semper Talis " banner
A note of interest , I have never seen an Officers miter in this style
with the Semper Talis Banner. I do not know of one in a private collection
or even on display in a museum. The only photo that I have seen of an
officer wearing one is the young Crown Prince Wilhelm.

This is the first time since I got in the latest officers miter that
I have 3 in the same photo.
On the left is the new one just in .It is from the Grenadier Batl.
The middle miter is the one that I have owned since the 1970's
It's a Grenadier Batl
The miter on the right is from the Fusilier Batl
Seeing all three together IMO shows that there at least 2 firms that
produced and sold these miters
or
the middle miter is an older one and it is possible that it was
for 1 G R zu Fuss officer
For sure the Garde Star centers and the crowns are different

That's an extraordinary image - and gives you some idea of how well-heeled these guys had to be. Head to toe, that's an incredibly expensive outfit for the era (and for collectors now, of course).

Thank you very much again for this is very nice thread. I‘m a big fan of these fabulous miters! They are the link to the times of Frederic the Great and Prussian glory. I might add a little extra . An original storing case.

Best wishes,

GardeUlan.
