No rabatte, but it has a plume. Usually it's the other way around.
I figured someone would plunk down the $2,200 it was first listed for.
It'd be nice if the starting bid was $9.99 or so....

I bought it for a lesser amount the second time through the eBay mill:

Helmut Weitze would probably charge half that sum in Euro for the Haarbusch alone.
When the Tschapka was delivered Thursday, it turned out to be an exceedingly nice example. However, the chinscales and rosettes had a lot of dried greenish paste polish (probably brasso) around the edges and recesses. It took more than an hour to remove that crud.
The ink stamp identifies the Tschapka as once being the property of a rental establishment für Masken und Theater-Kostüm (fancy dress and theater costume).
Voilà!

Wow. What else can I say? That is absolutely beautiful. And superb photography like always. Again...wow! Personally, I would sell the Haarbushe, as the chances of finding a Rabbate, that would fit, are slim.

Hi Tony:
Thanks! As luck would have it, Weitze offers a lemon yellow Rabatte in his recent update (potential UR 11), but the the price is an unconscionable 1,500.00 Euro:

And that would still leave me without the appropriate Fangschnur.
