Original Canadian Late 20th Century Canadian Grenadier Guards Bearskin Helmet and Uniform Set With Boots Original Items

Original Items: Only One Set Available. The Canadian Grenadier Guards (CGG) is a reserve infantry regiment in the 34 Canadian Brigade Group, 2nd Canadian Division, of the Canadian Army. The regiment is the oldest and second-most-senior infantry regiment in the Primary Reserve of the Canadian Army. Located in Montreal, its main role is the provision of combat-ready light infantry troops in support of Canadian regular infantry. It is a Household Foot Guard regiment and also provides soldiers for public ceremonial duties (Ceremonial Guard), performing similar ceremonial duties as the Guards regiments of the British Army. This primarily entails mounting the guard at Government House (Rideau Hall), the Governor General’s residence, and performing the “Changing the Guard” ceremony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, a task it shares with Canada’s senior Household Foot Guard regiment, the Governor General’s Foot Guards of Ottawa. The Canadian Grenadier Guards is an allied regiment to the British Grenadier Guards.

This uniform set is a rather recent issue from the early to late 1990s (bearskin cap is dated 1991) and is offered in fantastic condition. The scarlet red tunic bears all Canadian Grenadier Guards buttons as well as the white belt/sword hanger which has the correct belt buckle. The cap is in wonderful condition with a full liner and 1991 dated label. The trousers are in similar, wonderful condition to the tunic. The ankle high chukka boots do show wear with a lot of “miles” on them but are presented without any extensive damage and displays wonderfully with the rest of the set.

A rare opportunity to add this incredibly iconic uniform set to your collections!

Comes more than ready for further research and display.
