Just a simple brass or loose hamata ring will do fine, I would say.
As for more 'serious' parts, I would say, ask the leader of your local group. Maybe they've something old laying around that can be used for parts. I don't really know someone selling loose parts. (although Rusty @ SOTW might be able to help you with parts)

Thanks! I'm surprised they left that simple detail off an otherwise fairly accurate reproduction helmet. Mike
