Title Hussar officer's busby plume
Nationality British
Period c 1900
Price £0.00
Sold

This is made of white ostrich feathers, with a white vulture feather base, worn by the 3rd, 7th, 13th, 14th and 19th Hussars. These busbys were worn until the end of full dress, perhaps at the Coronation in 1953.

The little gilt collar on the white element of the plume is still present, although partially hidden by the vulture feathers. The ostrich feathers are slightly soiled with dirt and age, otherwise the condition is excellent for its age. Its tin is in quite good shape, with most of its original black paint, and the original linen plume bag is present.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

Just to let you know that the badges have arrived safe and sound and that I am very pleased with them. Can’t believe I haven’t come across your website before! Look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Today I received your flag. It's very nice and looks genuine to me. Beautifull crisp colors! It looks barely used. It's a nice addition to my ww2 collection. I would even say, one of my top pieces.

Thanks for your excellent service and top communication!

I will check your site more often to see if you have more nice pieces.
