M1894 colback of the Leib Husaren

[U-564]

Good morning,
I'm George, new in this Forum. A friend suggested me to join you and here I am.
I'd like to show this M1894 colback of the Leib Husaren that I've been told the Feldzeichen is fake. I still don't know about the skull. When I receive it I will post more pictures. The thing is if someone could tell me what ¨rank, and unit is this¨ and what exactly Feldzeichen I should need. I've seen one made of silver and another made probably from white silk. And where to find a proper one.
Thanks for your time!

Hello, maybe you could also take some photos of the inside and post them here.

Yes, extra pics please.
For sure: the Vaterlandbandeau is not correct.
-?this one is yellow metal? Can be the photographs of course....must be white metal!
-the scroll / bandeau is bend downwards: that is wrong!
-the scroll should be bend upward: simple reason: practically "resting"/fitting on the rounded top of the Totenkopf/skull...
-Looking forward to see all the details of the Totenkopf! Front/back. All sides please.
-And please: all the details of the Pelzmütze! Feldzeichen; Fangschnurr; Kolpak...etc...
Thank you,

I've seen this one on an auction not so long ago.
Was it at Aiolfi ( Belgium)or Wormser from Germany?...
I remember the " patchwork " Kolpak

Thank you for the interest! I will probably have it next week and make better pictures as requested.
Sorry but I'm not familiar with the specific part names from this Hat!
Any idea what specific Feldzeichen should be here?

Hi George,
The Feldzeigen is correct, so white with black ( state colours of Prussia) and the type also.
But it is made long after te war , probably in the '80 or'90...so correct but fake

Hello again, finally I got the hat and I tried to do my best taking pictures to it. Comments welcome and thanks for your help!

Some from inside. It seems to a ink stamping label on the brown leather and maybe there has been a paper label on the black lining.
