I don't know anything about these things about who

C'est curieux, la couverture porte l'inscription « Kaiser Alexander Garde Grenadier » alors que la mitre est manifestement celle du « 1. Garde Regiment zu Fuss ».


Not being a mitre collector, for the one shown by Gino1, I recognize an M94 mitre for the 1GRzuF, while the stamp is marked 1GGR so 1st Garde-Genadier and not 1st Régiment à pied... From what I believe I know, the KA 1GGR always wore the M26 then 26/94 mitre (chinstrap a post side) but of the "Russian" type, with brass star plate.

As has been pointed out, the Grenadiermutze is from the First Garde Regiment zu Fuss, while the cover is from the Fusilier Battalion of the Kaiser Alexander Garde Grenadier Regiment, which wore a completely different type of mitre. The cover would be a very loose fit on the pictured mitre.
