Anyway, I asked a good friend what his thoughts were and he also confirmed it as an original. The seller could go down to a reasonable price and so I could ride home as a happy collector…
The busby came together with the original box, its parade plume for NCO, fangschnur for NCO and a spare fangschnur for enlisted man. I wonder why the spare one is for EM; maybe the owner got promoted or so? We’ll probably never know…
This Husaren regt. 19 busby seems to be a private purchase, but why does it have this stamp of the second Eskadron? Also on the box we can see that the owner was with the second Eskadron. The name is faded, but also this old German writing still has a lot of secrets for me, so the name appears to be something like Walter Rülike. I enhanced the last picture of the bottom of the box a little bit, but I can’t make more of that. Maybe someone can throw some light in the darkness here? Thanks in advance!
Please enjoy the pictures gentlemen!
