專家說明
At the beginning of the Russian Revolution, the Life Guards Cossack of His Majesty regiment was the only regiment of the Russian Guard which moved the entirety of its officers mess out of the capital, Petrograd. At the end of the Russian Civil War they were finally transferred abroad.
A small part of the regimental silver flatware was sold in the late 1940s by officers of the regiment to acquire a premises outside Paris, in which the collections of the regiment are still kept today.
By tradition, each officer, at the time of his promotion to the regiment, had his rank, name and date of his promotion engraved on the handles of a cutlery set, which then became part of the regimental silver flatware.
