15THPACAV Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I was fortunate to acquire this rare Bavarian schirmmutze last year. It is for the Koniglich-Bayerische Leibgarde der Hartschiere, the King of Bavaria's ceremonial guard, founded in 1669, and consisting of only 107 men. Their fulldress was, of course, much more elaborate. The cap band and piping is black velvet. Must say that I've never seen another.
