Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts

[M. Demetrius]

Using the bowl from a Trooper helmet (cut off the neck guard, and perhaps remove the cheek pieces) would give a practical use for one of those helmets. I know someone who did basically that. Seems to work fine.

Looking at some of the depictions the skin could also be put on the head directly, something like a hat.

I have seen some that look that way, too. Hard to know for sure. But a piece of furry skin would provide little protection for the head. A metal under-cap would help, for sure.
