Original Item. Only One Available. This busby was part of the dress uniform of Squadron A of the New York Hussars, organized in 1885 as an independent troop of cavalry (National Guard New York, 1889).

This is a bell crown busby with black astrakhan fur and yellow wool top with point folded over and secured with a button on right side. Gilded metal crossed saber insignia and black velvet-covered oval device with embroidered "A" attached in front; brass scale chin strap with black leather backing secured at either side by a gilded metal button embossed with crossed sabers; leather half-lining with cord lacing. Interior features a full leather liner and maker label from the Warnock Uniform Company of New York. Also included is a yellow horsehair plume along with its tin transport storage case also marked to Warnock. The only real issue is the small metal piece that holds the plume in place on the lid of the carrying tin has broken off, but the plume can just sit on top of the hat in the case. Offered in overall excellent condition.

THE HISTORY OF SQUADRON A
It all started in 1884, when 18 young equestrians formed the New York Hussars, first as a political club and then an exclusive troop cavalry, known for its expert riding and elegantly ornate uniforms. The stylish Hussars quickly became a very popular addition to New York City parades and National Horse Show events.

On April 2, 1889, the group, then some fifty-three strong, was mustered as Squadron A into the National Guard as NGSNY, the first cavalry arm of the Guard of the State of New York. The Squadron was often called out to escort presidents, governors and foreign dignitaries. Squadron A troopers were sent to Puerto Rico to serve in the Spanish-American war and the entire squadron was called into federal service in 1916 to patrol the Mexican border.

Later they served with distinction in World War I and, during World War II, its members became part of the crack 101st Cavalry Group that fought gallantly in Germany and Austria earning Congressional Medals of Honor, French Legion of Honor and Order of British Empire Awards, Distinguished Flying Crosses and a Presidential Unit Citation.

The heritage and spirit of Squadron A is embodied in its motto, “boutez en avant”, and carried on by the Squadron A Association with a clubhouse just off Fifth Avenue in New York City. As a volunteer, social and philanthropic organization it provides a venue for men and women to continue, preserve and forward the traditions, memory and contributions of the Squadron and the horse cavalry.ü
