OK. I've had a go. It was much easier than I imagined, though I have lots of holes left ready for my next consignment of crow feathers.

My method of fixing is authentic, a single slit in the top of the ridge, with a single plate of iron sticking through. Inside the helmet it is cut into 3 strips, which separate out to lay on the inside of the helmet under the padding. A firm fit.

I just need more feathers!!!!

I've got lots more pictures online of the details, if anyone's interested.
