Description
This is a superb patriotic pin that most likely was worn by a lady whose husband or sweetheart served in 2. Leib-Husaren-Regiment Königin Victoria von Preußen Nr 2. It was one of the two Prussian “Death’s Head” regiments. Prinzessin Viktoria Luise rode with this regiment as an à la Suite officer, while her brother Kronprinz Wilhelm was known for his association with 1. Leib-Husaren-Regiment Nr 1. This very high-quality, gilt-toned, pinback piece measures 1 ½” x 2.” It has the crowned cypher “V.” The pin is in excellent condition.
