WW1 Imperial German Army Prussian Hussar PELZMUTE / BUSBY NAMED VERY RARE

Made of black-Dyed Seal Fur over a bamboo frame, this fur hat is in AMAZING used condition! Some slight marks, wear, and tiny holes, but nothing that detracts, and it still retains 99% original fur! Features a large skull on the front, with a Red Burlap Kolpak (bag) covering one side. Kokarde (Cockade) & Plume feature a 3, indicating the Regiment, and the liner is 100% COMPLETE, with the manufacture stamp.

The name Thor is also written internally. The Fangschnur (cords) are also present, but do feature some staining/tarnishing due to the age. Chin strap is also original. Made of Tombak/Bronze it has the motto "MIT GOTT FÜR KOENIG UND VATERLAND" (With God For King And Fatherland). No damage to any of the prongs.

Every item in this listing is 100% ORIGINAL, however I believe the cockade "may" have been added to make it more complete. Overall the busby is in excellent condition and makes a dramatic presentation. One of the RAREST headgear known from WW1, it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display. Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage.

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft Fw190, Me262, etc. , as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period.
