In “like new” condition, this black horse hair plume,
the same plume as shown in the 2ND Cavalry

bound with no loss of hair. The black color of the hair
and the wool cord wrapping is still vibrant, the
wrapping shows no wear or fraying, and the brass
mounting loop is intact and tightly attached.
This separate plume is a rare offering, almost unheard
of to find one on the loose. This is a opportunity to
complete your Busby that will not be soon repeated.

This offering is for the plume only. The
photograph of the full Busby and the plume in the Busby
canister pictured below is included here only to show
how this plume would be worn on the Busby and stored in
the canister.
