It looks the same as the one on my Saxe HR 20 OR’s busby. The parade part of this...woven paddles and tassels looks different and I don’t believe that it is original. My opinion only, we really need members who have original examples to comment here.
Rivets are visible, so unless those are officer M15 removable chinscales, they must be Mannschaften held on with split brad officer rosettes?911car said://The only surprise is that the chinscales are for an officer. Did the busby come like this?//
