Bavarian General "Federbush" / Plume & Trichter for Parade

Beautiful Federbusch for a Bavarian General Helmet of the Model 1902 (August 16th). The Federbush was worn for special occasions or Parade Purposes. This bush is of the "higher/better" quality type with its inside light blue Feathers kept whole as outlined in the "Marke Garde du Corps" catalog (picture attached). A very few of the outside white feathers have some "rust" stains at the basis (see photos), otherwise complete with approx 70% of its feathers.

Original Feather Bushes are quite rare to be found in todays market, this one is missing a few feathers, but overall nicely furbished, we would rate it a 7 on a scale of 10. Furthermore with the Bush comes its original carrying case in cardboard and inside tube (tube only a moderne make up by AoK, as missing originaly). Take a look at the pictures. We made some close-ups of the sewing part of a few blue feathers. A Rare item to find in todays Market. Silver Trichter included.
