A Frosty Ulanen Ersatz Tschapka

[Tony without Kaiser]

As requested. Exterior has rivets to hold on the tin top, and ventilation holes like existing Tschapka. Inside is fascinating; interior skull leather goes down into the neck.

Extremely well made, and essentially near-mint. Much fun to examine. :read2:

Excellent pics T and again, the condition is just amazing, probably never issued!! The construction of these pieces continues to illustrate the phenomenal craftsmanship of leather workers/manufacturers of this era.

I never knew the leather continued into the neck, Tony. Remarkable!
