How to Measure Your Head
- Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
- Wrap a soft tape or string around your head to measure about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above your ear and about 3/4 to an 1" inch above your brow line (see image)
- Mark the tape or your string, where it intersects, with your finger.
- Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate)
- If you're using a string, run it along side the ruler as many times as necessary to get a complete measurement
- MEASURE AGAIN!
- Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
- Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

This WW1 Imperial German Prussian Death’s Head Hussars Light Cavalry Busby (1900–1918) replica is a meticulously crafted historical reproduction, made according to original construction techniques used by the elite Prussian Hussar regiments of Imperial Germany. The famous Totenkopf (Death’s Head) insignia symbolized bravery, loyalty, and elite cavalry tradition within the German Army.
Originally worn by Prussian Hussar units serving the German Empire, this distinctive busby became one of the most recognizable pieces of German military headgear during the late 19th century and World War I. This replica faithfully reflects that historic legacy with accurate form, materials, and detailing.
The base frame is constructed from willow stiffeners, following traditional methods, and the interior is lined with a combination of linen and genuine leather for comfort and durability. The top of the base is finished with premium nutria fur, while the hood is made from natural red woolen cloth, maintaining correct period color and texture.
The skull, cockades, and ribbon are made from copper with silver plating, accurately replicating original fittings. The land cockade is a composite design with an applied silver‑plated ring, while the upper cockade is crafted from linden wood covered with woolen cloth, just as seen on original Imperial German examples. The handmade death’s head badge adds exceptional authenticity and collector value.
Each busby is made to order, ensuring precise shape, structural integrity, and a professional finish. This makes it suitable for historical reenactments, museum collections, military displays, theatrical productions, films, and television dramas, where historically correct German military uniforms are essential.
Packaging & Delivery:
Each busby is securely packed in a protective box to preserve its shape and ensure safe delivery.
Note:
This is a made‑to‑order historical replica, carefully crafted to represent the original Imperial German WW1 Prussian Death’s Head Hussars busby. Custom sizing, special requests, and bulk orders are welcome for collectors, reenactment groups, museums, and production houses.
