More pics of Kürassier Überzug

[J.LeBrasseur]

As per request, here are more pics of the Kürassier Überzug i got, sorry it took so long to post them.

Very unique piece has officer rear pullover type to connect to helmet and then period hooks around the rest.

A very hard cover to find.

Very nice James; congrats!

Was this worn by Other Ranks as well?

I presume this is a pre-1915 model since the spike cover isn't removable?

Interesting combination of hooks and visor sleeves. I am assuming that the hooks were a later addition? I have never seen a D.R.P. marked cover with hooks before. I have an issue, unit marked J.z.P cover that I bought from the Norm Hobson estate back in the 1970s. I had two such covers, but sent one back because I couldn't afford two at that time! They were asking $35 each for them. #-o
