Husaren Regiment König Wilhelm I Nr 7

I am not systematically looking for matching pieces, but when I come across one, I like to get it;
Question ; Is the body of the busby of otter fur
or is it brown bear fur ?
Is it possible to see a photo of the inside liner ?
Thank you
Steve

My H R 7 is of black bear fur
It is private purchase
Issue enlisted would be seal skin?
An officer would have otter fur
until the start of the use of Opossum fur
Interest to know what fur is on your H R 7 ?

Very nice Bosby’s and amazing engraved sword with the first hat. Is it possible to see a close up of the swords engraving?
Best regards
John
 
Thank you all.
I'll provide additional pic's asap.
The sword came in last.
The busby was all ready showed some where here....
It is brown bear fur to me.

Wish I could spend more time to the collection's I got, but I am still going thrue troubled waters.
Still working, on my own, on the moving of our belongings, and clearing the last buildings in Belgium. It is a 7 to 8 hours trip, but quiet tiresome when doing it with the camper and a big trailer on the back. Filling the trailer generaly takes me a full day....and over 10.000 steps....
This was something I planned to do in a later stadium. But thrusting the wrong people in a vulnerable moment makes me standing where I am....
With a lot of paper work on top ....not what I expected what my retirement would look like.
And this is going on since my wife passed away, two and a half years ago....
Didn't at time to grieve...ever since...exept for the nearly two months I was in Portugal, last year....and even then I was buissy with pragmatic things that does come up, being in the situation I got in.

Planned to do a flea market this morning but I woke up at 09.00h, not of my habit I generally wake up between 05.00 and 06.00.
But no regrets, I needed it....and there was no alcohol involved, yesterday!! ;-)

Weather is good, still going to the flea market, but on the bike. And try to find a good restaurant at noon!
;-)
 
So far for the restaurant....had to get back to fetch the car to load what I saw at the market.
So I spended 4 whole hours in total,driving up and down, first with the bike, then with the car.
But I liked what I got;

ps pictures of the busby and sword will be for tomorrow.

Hell of a day.
My old laptop let me down, had to switch to my reserve, and not used to that one.
Also not complete as my old one was, and just in the middle of problems with our national tax services.... imagine the stress...

Anyway here are the pics you guys asked for.
The blade is hard to photograph...
