Grenadier Regiment 7

Well-known member
I will get my G R 7 grouping started .
G R 7 raised 1797 . It can be traced back to
the old Friedrich the Great Armee regiment
I R 29 .It took up the flag pattern of I R 58 von Courbiere
Garrison was Liegnitz and was part of V A K

Here is the Waffenrock for officer of G R 7
with officers helmet to parade .
Helmet banner detail and collar and cuffs ( piped in white ) detail
I bought the Waffenrock less any shoulder straps or epaulettes
I later located a proper pair of G R 7 epaulettes .

Excellent set! The embroidery on the collar and cuffs of the Grenadier Regts are very intricate. I'm curious why all 12 Regiments didn't carry the distinctive embroidery?
 
Dennis ;
Maybe if the war had not started they might have .
As we have seen so far
G R 1
G R 2
G R 3
G R 4
G R 5
G R 7
took the special collar and cuffs form the old
Infantry Regiments of the Armee of Frederick the Great
they also patterned their flags from these old regiments

For some reason G R 6 only had gilt / gold collar & cuff litzen

We will see when I post L G R 8 that their collars & cuffs are special
G R 9 & 10 are plain Waffenrocks

G R 11 has the same gilt / gold litzen as G R 6

G R 12 is also plain
It might be because some of these last regiments were
raised late and their lineage can not be traced to an old regiment

G R 7 enlisted shoulder straps and passbook
included is a nice pair for a 1 year volunteer .







A real nice pair of officers shoulder straps for G R 7 . Because of the width of the
straps I think these were made for the Future Peace Time uniform . The Friedensrock.
and a single epaulette G R 7

Color card of the Batl flag of G R 7
Since G R 7 was part of the V A K
all flags of all the regiments in V A K were destroyed in Posen.
I wonder if any of the relic diggers have found that location ?
There would still be metal unit rings and the silver rings with
the dates the new flags were given .
Also the pole tops some of which would be 1813 and 1870 Iron Cross

Last a uniform that I got some years ago from George Bush , Jr. who lived
in Perryville , Mo. at the time . An early collector of Feldgrau uniforms
and officers cyphered shoulder straps . This is no longer in my collection
but worth a view . Information form George ;
Uniform of Lt. von Unruh G R 7 M1910 Feldgrau

Dennis ;
Thanks
I sold the G R 7 Feldgrau to a collector here in the states.
I was told that some years later Malcolm Fisher
bought the entire Feldgrau collection .
A lot of that collection is shown in Fisher's
12 " X 16 " inch over-sized book on Feldgrau uniforms
If you own the book , check page 22
that is the same G R 7 uniform that I owned .
Also look at page 35
The 5th Garde Regt zu Fuss Officer Friedensrock .
That was mine also and was sold to the same collector
In the future if or when I might do a grouping
on the 5th G R zu Fuss I will post photo
of when I owned it .
A photo of it also appears on the back of the book's slip cover
