Och.. why?
After all, easy for you to say, your Berkasovo-type helmet looks 'tough' enough already! Why not add a litle glamour to that poor simple Intercisa type, hmm?

Well I'm torn between the third and fourth ones. But I suppose the fourth
has to be the best, as it makes him look most like a Spartan! :twisted:
Any chance you can give us an impression of what the Intercisa with a
metal crest would look like with the same crest-box attachment? 8)

I like the one with the demi-crest on the left - looks unique
Cheers.

Yes, but the smalest the better, maybe a long horse hair hanging from the top...

I like the third from the left. It seems closest to the apparent profile shape of most of the contemporary representations I have seen.

How about soldering something like this onto an Intercisa I :?:
This is a short crest.
Or do they have to be detachable for LR :?:

Well, so far I never saw the evidence for a fixed crest, but also just one helmet withslits for a detachable one.
So why solder it on the helmet? Attach two parallel strips to the crest and make a few slits in the ridge of the helmet. Push the crest in and fold the strips back on the inside of the helmet - I'm positive (after seeing how the fixed metal crest was attached to the 'Guttmann-Intercisa') that this is a perfectly correct way to attach a crest to an Intercis I helmet.

Hi Valerius,

I thought perhaps it maybe an easier procedure but if there's no evidence for permanent crests then I won't go with a ficticious innovation.

I don't quite understand this procedure. What are "strips" ? And by "slits" do you mean make holes ? What tools do I need ?
Please send a PM if you feel it more appropriate to do so :wink:
Thank you, Valerius

By 'strips' I meant strips of metal, prefeably metal you can bend many times without breaking it. Copper, maybe? Just cut some strips measuring say 5 x 2 cm or smaller. Use about six, for 3 slits. You can bend one strip to the right, the other to the left. That should hold the crest secure.
I think this picture will give a better idea than my description:

Yes, by slits I mean make holes, but not round ones of course. Like here:
Tools? Well, I'm not sure, I never actually did it (I will have to though, and soon). They're not big slits, so how about a hammer and a small screwdriver or something to punch a hole?

Great studies. I like 3 and 4. I really want to do this.
Can I get crests to attach? Or do I have to make my own out of horsehair? I'm hoping I can get one 'of the shelf', I'm certain I can secure it well enough.
Theodosius, where did you get your crest from??

It's made by Deepeeka, Mitras. Several retailers sell the crests separately. You should have no trouble finding one.
