Looking for felt ersatz pickelhauben shells in bad condition

I know this is a longshot, but do any of ya'll in North-America (or any North-America based websites) have a spare felt ersatz pickelhaube shell in bad condition that I could purchase? I'm looking for one that I can eventually restore. I'm looking specifically for felt ersatz helmets because I've made and reshaped a few hats for friends and such, and I am quite comfortable working with felt. So felt pickelhauben with cracks, splits, holes, missing liners, and even shells that have been stripped of hardware are all welcome.

I have sought these for years and have a few posts on restoring them in the restoration category.
I have been lucky finding ( basket cases ) on this forum.

I’ve seen your posts in the restoration section! They are quite impressive! I’ve been looking on various websites for felt shells in poor condition, but they always get snatched up before I can act. So I thought maybe I’d have some luck looking on this forum.
