Hello! I can offer you an ersatz shako. The felt is lacquered, almost all the fittings are high-quality copies, and the original chin strap hooks have the manufacturer's markings. The size is large, with a circumference of 60-61 cm.
Thank you very much. I know that the fur is sewn horizontally in a counterclockwise direction. Perhaps you have the original hat? I am interested in some of the measurements. I tried bending the bamboo, but I rushed it and it broke. I will try again.
I'm making a pickelhaube for myself for reconstruction. I have a leather replica of the sphere itself, my friend made it for me. Then I'll assemble it myself. Then varnish it... The fittings will be partly original, partly replica. Now it looks like this, I tried on the visors and punched holes...
Hello! Could you take more photos of the ersatz busby? I wonder how the helmet liner was sewn on. Because you can't make it out in this photo.
Sincerely, Oleksandr
