Hey guys,
Picked this up a few weeks ago. This is a racoon skin hat with a right hand hackle for a Fusilier Regiment. The racoon skin hats were larger than the busby and smaller than the bearskin hats.
Hackle colours:
Lancashire Fusiliers: Primrose yellow
Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment): White
Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers: Grey
Royal Irish Fusiliers: Green
Royal Northumberland Fusiliers: Red over white
Royal Scots Fusiliers: White
Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers: Blue over Gold
Royal Welch Fusiliers: White
There are also two holes in the front of the cap to accomodate a racoon skin cap badge, larger than the regular cap badge.
