@ David...
Prices are £95.00 per crest for something this size. I only use the finest horsehair (Instrument bow-makers hair) which is a bit more pricey! Price is the same whether it has a tail or not as the labour is still the same!
@ Bill...
Yes, Bill the crest box is wood. Red crests will be an option once I get the hang of dying the white! I'm due to make a red plume crest for a Coolus D soon for a member of RAT, so I'll post pics of that when it's ready.
@ Mark...
I'm sure Gittvs will be pleased! The crest support is cast bronze and a copy of one of the finds from Rheingonheim. Made by Nodge Nolan. The standard ones are front-back fitment, but Nodge is making up a few transversely fitted ones for me.
