GERMANY, Prussian Hussar enlisted mens ersatz 'Pelzmutze' busby for Hussar Regiment Nr 8, c1917, a rare issued example made entirely of ersatz field grey rabbit felt, displaying a copper-brass toned wappen scroll 'Mit Gott Fur Konig und Vaterland' (With God for King and Fatherland), original ersatz leather chinstrap, top of the busby with an original light-blue ersatz wool kolpak, devoid of any cap lines, single national cockade to the right side of the chinstrap, (a single Reich's cockade for post 1897 busbies is correct, so the lack of a Prussian cockade is not uncommon), refurbished state top cockade, interior with an ersatz leather liner dated 1917. Overall some light wear to the leather edging and liner, extremely fine and rare.
