Dan, the Guards wear the bearskin, the busby is worn by the Royal horse artillery and the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.....the busby is also worn by some rifle regiments, and has a very tall plume at the front. Whilst the Guards do indeed use the skin of the black bear, they never kill them for that use...only dead or culled bears are chosen. Cheers mate.
Nice haul there mate. Ive picked up several bargain lots up recently myself including a rare Action Man vehicle for £16.09 including p&p. If i can find the time i'll upoad a video.
The bear skin hat is made from the black bear and is called a buzby
