Captain Kister's wallet-writer in green morocco gilded with irons around the edges, silver-plated brass hinges and keyhole, attributed in gold letters on the flap: "MR KISTER - CAPITAINE DES GRENADIERS À CHEVAL", the upper part opens with a key and features compartments, two of which are for inkwells and, in the middle, three superimposed for small accessories including a cachet with the numeral: "GAK"; it has retained its original key; 43.5 x 35 x 6 cm. (Missing inkwell and accessories). First Empire period. Good condition. PROVENANCE: Bertrand MALVAUX collection. KISTER was chef de corps of the 1st regiment of Imperial Guard scouts created on December 4, 1813. This regiment was attached to the régiment des grenadiers à cheval de la garde impériale, hence its name, régiment des éclaireurs-grenadiers. The 1st regiment was entrusted to Colonel Claude TESTOT-FERRY, from the Empress's dragoons and former aide-de-camp to Marshal MARMONT. The unit consists of four squadrons of 250 men each, led by : PIERRE, a former member of the 10th Regiment de chasseurs à cheval (like Claude TESTOT-FERRY) and of the chasseurs à cheval de la garde; DELAVILLANE; LEPOT of the grenadiers à cheval de la garde; KISTER. Most of the officers were recruited directly from the Imperial Guard.
