For Steve Richards:
Actually, I suspect she was intelligent as well as pretty. She remained quite prominent in European royalty and aristocracy. Her only daughter, Frederica Louise, married King Paul of Greece. Probably through that connection Victoria Luise was named Grandmaster of the Alexander Order for Art and Science, an honorary position she held from 1945 to 1968.

For Snafu63092:
The busby is the result of several years of searching for all the accessories. I purchased the basic busby from Manion's auction. It was in great shape but had only a bad reproduction skull front plate and no bandeau. I acquired the field badge and brush from private collectors. Finally I purchased a trashed out 2nd Hussar busby that had a nearly mint skull and bandeau still attached. Original examples of those two little pieces of metal, particularly the bandeau, are really tough to find. The end result is what you see.
