Original era manufacture. A handsome piece of headgear, real fur busby, with a gilt crown and crossed cannon at front. Red wool kolpak with gold tassle and trim. Linked brass chinscales with black velvet backing material, secured to the sides by lion headed bosses.Wide, brown leather sweatband and liner similar in pattern to a WWII German liner. Red leather top lining with six ventilation grommets and gilt lettering.The busby is quite sound, with no real condition issues; missing its top front field badge. A special thanks to Michel who corrected our error in originally identifying it as a Belgian busby.
