I have two questions,
Number 1) Does anyone know where I can purchase a square securing nut for the plume. "I don't know if they are a standard thread or not."
Number 2) Does anyone know how long the plume should be.
Cheers.

Hi Kev
Sorry I cant help you with the nut, however the 1900 Dress Regulations at paragraph 291 on page 20 states that the 6th DG plume is white horse hair for officers and that the plume rises 2" from the point of insertion in the socket and falls to the bottom of the helmet.
If you would like to Pm me your email address I can send you a scan of the relevant paragraph.
Regards Phil.
