Pickelhaube Post Needed

Well-known member
Looking for an original post for my newly acquired felt pickelhaube. One is damaged. Brass fittings (see pictures - poor quality but all I have right now).

Thanks.

So I have the helmet now and the damaged post is missing the little brass cover that goes over the end of the post. I can see now how they are constructed. (See pictures - Left and right for comparison - with repro cockades and chinstrap).

So either a full replacement (original) post or even just the small cap off of a damaged one would work for me.

I know this is a big ask as these parts are hard to find.

Thanks.

Peter

Thanks John.

Funny I couldn't find those when I was looking.

Amy is going to sort me with one when she gets back from the SOS.

Cheers
