Pre-WW1 Buckinghamshire Battalion (Ox and Bucks Light Infantry) Sealskin OR’s Rifles Busby

A fantastic Pre-WW1 Buckinghamshire Battalion (Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) OR’s sealskin rifles busby.

With Hobson & Sons label inside, dated 1912 and named to “L Col F Hillier, D Company”, with D company referring to the No.4/D Aylesbury Company.

A great example of the short-lived sealskin rifleman’s busby, this pattern being introduced in 1902 and falling out of use by the end of WW1.

The busby has a few small patches of fur loss and repairs, particularly a patch at the back and to the front lanyard.
