The Svea Lifeguards still wear one, too, don't they. There's also a mounted unit in the Swedish Guard that wear the cuirassier helmet on the Prussian pattern, if I'm not mistaken.

Prost!

Thanks Martin for the link. I was thinking of Chile and its Honour Guard but the photos in the link indicate that four or five other South American Countries still use them in their military academies as does Chile.
