Kürassier Pals

[Jeff R]

A group of friends that includes some dapper chaps of the Garde-Kürassier-Regiment, a volunteer medial orderly, and a Garde-Infanterie soldier (the barely visible cypher looks to me like it could be KAGGR1).

Nice mix of issue Krätzchen and private purchase caps. (The gent in the center proves that chipped cockade enamel could be contemporary to use!)

Finally some Krätzchen…. My favourite type of Kopfbedeckungen.

Absolutely beautiful! Crazy scarce these days (especially in that condition).

The men on the left is from the Königin Augusta Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr.4 Their barracks where closed to the Garde Kürassier Regiment.
Not only the Kratzchen are chamber pieces, also the tunics and swords. Only the two Guards regiments had blue tunics as chamber pieces. The line cuirassiers had to procure the tunics at the expense of the regiments.
