Husarenmütze

OK guys,

Is this in the same suspect category as the Ulanen Tschapka I almost bought?


The leather liner looks to be in very good condition on the inside, perhaps too good? WHat about the rest of the helmet?

I'm not specialist but for me it's bad, very bad. Probably one of those headgears (with a little leather border) made in Germany. Stitching and cord visible inside the headgear... But it's only my opinion.

Hi Mike:
The alarm bells go off for me on this one as well. I have never seen this company's repro filz busby before but it does have all of the hallmarks...the thin leather trim around the rim of the shell and also the crease around the top looks too rounded and soft to me almost like a doughnut. The liner has been very much improved (faked). The fingers should be pointed not round infantry style but the colour is good. So now we know, that they made M15 filz shakos, tschapkas and busbies. Thanks for posting as I said, I have never seen this model before. Brian
