It was Chiefs regiment for all the Russian Emperors. Grenadier Regiment of the Imperial Guards had following awards: - Two silver trumpets with this inscription: 1st Regiment of Grenadiers in the capture of Berlin, September 26, 1760. - Banner of St. George with this inscription: In recognition of the defeat and expulsion of the enemy out of Russia in 1812. - To mark the centenary of the creation of the Regiment, the regiment received the banner of St. George with the inscription: 1756-1856. - The ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew is awarded to the regiment. - The badge on the shako with the inscription: Mountain Doubniak October 12, 1877.

From the Catherine II ruling period (9th July 1762 17th November 1796) shoulder stripes (akselbands) were introduced.Distinguishing akselbands, conferred by the Empress Catherine II in 1775. Empress decided that the officers akselbands must be made from gold cord and soldiers must be wear yellow colour akselbands. In the 1809 the akselbands on the uniforms were cancelled.In 1913 akselbands were re-established as the collective award, given grenadiers for exploits on the battlefield.As a memory of Catherine II, the first chef of regiment on the akselbands placed the monogram of the Empress. At this period regiment commander was Major General Vassili Vassilievitch Boutovitch (29th July 1909 15th November 1914). Again gold cord and silver Empress monogram for officers and yellow wool threads and white metal for regular soldiers. Here is my private/NCO example.
