Original Item: Only One Available. This is by far the finest example we’ve ever seen. An early 20th Century officer Busby is constructed using SABLE which is in remarkably untouched
condition.
It is size 7 1/8″, still has the original leather lining with maker name in gold print that reads:
J.DANIELS & CO. LTD
WOOLWICH
CHATHAM
& 62 PALL MALL, S.W.1
The busby retains the original black leather chin strap gilt Royal Artillery coat of arms on gilt grenade helmet plate which is worn over the left ear together with the white horsehair brush plume.
Finally the Busby has the rich red “bag” which hangs down the soldiers right side of the helmet. Officer helmets are always in very short supply and are sought for, but Sable helmets in this truly outstanding condition come along very infrequently.
