Description
An exceptionally rare and investment-grade complete parade set of a Prussian Garde-Kürassier, circa 1890–1900. This museum-quality ensemble comprises the iconic M1889 tombac helmet with the eight-pointed Gardestern and detachable silver parade eagle, paired with a matching steel cuirass bearing the rayed breast shield with the Prussian Eagle.
What elevates this set to the highest tier of collectability is its documented provenance: a period hand-written inscription inside the cuirass reads “Garde Bataillon d. I. Garde Regiments Nro. 1290”. This directly links the set to the elite 1st Foot Guard Regiment (1. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß), the personal guard of Kaiser Wilhelm II in Potsdam.
