Hi All,

What do you think? Real or fake?

Best regards,

It's discussed in another http://www.pickelhaubes.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6572" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The Garde hussars had the experimental shako in 1911. The busby with the skull is supposed to be a wartime item, yet it has no bandeau and it doesn't really match any known ersatz pattern busby. Bogus.

And the top of the busby is the inverted lid of a biscuit tin!
