The Crown Prince in the 1 G R zu Fuss

[KAGGR#1]

Here is a great photo of the Crown Prince as a child in the 1 G R zu Fuss uniform
He and the other troops wear the old style parade miter that was given down to the KAGGR #1
when the regiment got the new silver miters
However his is the ultra rare officers miter with the "Semper Talis " banner above the Garde star
Photos of anyone wearing this miter are very hard to find
The miter it's self is impossible to find
There not one known in any private collection
and no known example in a museum

I wonder where that miter is today and the tiny pair of epaulettes ?

Excellent
Thank you
In one photo we see the older model miter in color with a Semper Talis banner .They state the banner is not correct .
Someone applied the banner for the spiked helmet to the miter .I have a correct enlisted miter in my collection .
The other link shows that famous scene where part of the 1 G R zu Fuss wears the old brass front miter and another part
wears the "new " silver front miter.
