You can shape the rear visor trim quite easily if you can't find an original.
You use a nylon/plastic hammer and tap it on a piece of wood to get the desired shape.
Go easy on the tapping.
I have watched most of the videos.
Everybody almost to a person skips the spikes.
I wish there was an Imperial collector who would make a video on one or any of these shows.
Great piece.
I won one off of ebay a few years back with a tin top.
Unfortunately the tin top was a repo but the rest of the helm is original.
Th Bavarian plate has a blueish tint to it.
You see so many Bond sale Uhlans without the stars which make me think that they were not issued with the star.
I have a star on mine but i was lucky to find one on Germany ebay but it is the standard sized star for the m-15 gray Garde plate and it looks fine.
