Hello to all collectors ;
I have had for some years a real interest in the
12 Prussian Grenadier Regiments.
I am going to post under groupings my collection
of Grenadier Regt 1
The regiment was raised in the year 1655
It was part of I A K and garrison was Konigsberg.
The collar and cuffs on the officers waffenrocks
of the Grenadier regiments were patterned
after the very early Grenadier uniforms .
For G R 1 officers they were awarded the special
collar & cuffs on 6. 5. 1900.
The "1655 " banner was awarded to the helmet plate in 1897.
The change to the newer wide winged Grenadier helmet plate was 6.5. 1900
The " F R III " cypher and crown for the epaulettes and shoulder straps 25.2. 1889
The regiment was " Crown Prince
On 24.3. 1918 The Chef was Crown Prince Wilhelm
I have found a photo of C P Wilhelm in the G R 1 uniform very hard to find.
I will start with my officers Friedensrock for G R 1 .
A couple of things different about this piece ;
It has the loops for epaulettes which I understand were not to worn
on this uniform . The shoulder straps are not sewn into the shoulders
but a slip on . They are not the normal width of the Friedensrock straps .
The cuffs are piped in white which is correct for G R 1.
Next a pair of officers epaulettes for G R 1 that would be worn on the pre-war blue waffenrock.
Single Lt. Col. shoulder strap for G R 1
A pair of officers feldgrau shoulder straps for G R 1
Officers helmet G R 1 from the former Jacques Pries Infantry officers collection
Enlisted man's helmet G R 1
Feldgrau e m helmet with a Prussian line eagle .Kammer inside marked G R 1 1916.
I have never seen nor have I ever talked to anyone who has seen a feldgrau G R 1
helmet plate with the "1655 " banner .
And last a loose officers "1655 " Banner and an enlisted old style FWR G R 1 plate
when the " 1655 " banner was worn above the eagle like G R 4 does .
