Looking for a Marine Pickelhaube

Hello!

My best friend is a fresh Marine at Fort Sill and I recently came across a picture of a Marine in an American Pickelhaube.
I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get a decent reproduction or easily converted reenactor's Pickelhaube that I can surprise my best friend with.

S&S Firearms in Glendale NY has that brass plate and many other restamped 19th century Marine Corps shako, cap and helmet plates. Spikes and chin strap buttons and chin strap are also available. Someone makes a reproduction helmet. I don't remember who... like one of the Civil War reenactment companies. The S&S guys probably know. The Marines also used the white sun helmet with these fittings and those helmets are widely available online and Ebay.

 

This one looks pretty good for a quality basic helmet.
