Does anyone knows what were the uniforms worn by the Hartschier Leibgarde and Trabanten Leibgarde during the reign of Elector Ferdinand Maria? |

How is your German? And can you read the Fraktur script? Geschichte des Bayerischen Heeres. Geschichte des kurbayerischen Heeres insbesondere unter Kurfürst Ferdinand Maria ; 1651 – 1679 link I browsed it a bit and it might have what you're looking for. Also, contacting the Bavarian Army Museum might be worth a shot.

It's a fantastic place with a really remarkable collection. |

Prior to 1700 (possibly earlier) the Hartschiere appear to have worn a cuirassier-style uniform, including "white" metal cuirass and pot helmet – source: Charles Grant jnr "From Pike to Shot". It would be interesting to know what you find on the Trabanten (and if the "Heeres" book contradicts Grant on the Hartschiere). |

I do not know how much about the uniforms is in here, but it is a (German) book about the 200 years annyversary of the life guard Hartschire from 1869. link |
