Greetings all! I'd like some advice on where to buy a replica flat brass Mannschaft Schuppenkette for Knopf 91. After I became poor and had to sell my first collection of real Pickelhaubes and then became rich and subsequently poor again had to sell my second collection I could, in order to remain free from terrible withdrawal symptoms , only afford a replica: the Prussian Mannschaft M95 in the picture. I'd like to pimp it up a bit, with a Schuppenkette. Since replica stuff is all about make-believe anyway, this would turn it into an imagined pre-1913 K.I.R 145. Sure, in real life that would have to have a removable spike that's interchangeable with a parade bush, but you can't see that from the outside of the spike anyway so that doesn't bother me.
The real issue is: where to get a decent replica flat brass Mannschaft Schuppenkette for Knopf 91? Would anybody have a useful suggestion for an online shop that sells these things? I've found a few shops, but the pictures they post don't give a clear impression, and eBay seems to sell the most godawful kind of stuff that makes my scrotum wrinkle - if you'll forgive me the expression. Intersting informtion would be: are the ends that go on the Knöpfe 1 mm thick or 3 mm? If the latter, do they deliver replacement buttons to go with the Kette? That sort of things. I'd like to have your suggestions... not where to put it, but where to buy it
Thanks in advance!
