Prussian Officer, Garde Du Corps, 1806, Napoleonic Figurine, Collectable Figurine, Foot Soldier Figurine
Infantry of the Napoleonic wars, a reproduction of soldiers from different eras to trace the evolution and history, reproduced in standard 1/30th, or 54mm, a collection of Del Prado.
The figurines are made in a stable alloy of lead and zinc, with a remarkable finish, both in terms of casting, as paint. Hand painted.
With the cabinet order (AKO) of 23 June 1740, in Charlottenburg, the formation of a training squadron of the Gardes du Corps with a guard character was ordered. It was not only the king's personal bodyguard, but also became a model unit for the Prussian cavalry, which had failed at the Battle of Mollwitz on 10 April 1741 and had to be restructured.
It was not until the Seven Years' War that field squadrons were added and the unit was increased. The regiment thus created was given first rank in the army list. Thus, the Gardes du Corps were the most distinguished unit of the royal Prussian cavalry and remained so until their disbandment. The regiment was still the 13th of the cuirassier regiments in the main list of 1806, but it always held first place in exercises and parades.
