Just got my horse tail ready for the Montifortino helmet. I have been looking at two ways of attaching the plume, one is this way http://www.larp.com/legioxx/crests.html that inserts the plume using a pin, the other option I am thinking of is drilling out the hole in the helmet's top knob to enlarge it and glueing in the hair so that it is more permanent. The only draw back to this is that I would only be able to use 1/2 of the hair so that it can fit in the hole.
What is the prefered method of attachment? Were they fixed so they could be inserted/removed easily with the aid of a pin, or attached permanently?
