Gentlemen (and Ladies):
I have an M1881 US Army Helmet Spike and Acorn/Leaf Base, free to a good home.
The spike and base are heavily patinated, showing that they have not been polished for many a year. Sadly, I do not have a spare nut-and-washer, but the spike has standard SAE threads, (6-32, I believe) and as the nut and washer would be completely within the helmet, a trip to the local hardware store should provide one with the necessaries.
First come, first served.
I have the honor to remain,
Your Obedient Servant,
Bvt. Captain Malachi Thorne

Ladies and Gentlemen:
While I am happy to give the spike to a good home, it is my intention that the person who acquires these items actually use them in the construction of a helmet for GAF use. If this is your intent, I'd be happy to send it to you.
I have the honor to remain,
Your Obedient Servant,

Dear Malachi Thorne,
I would love to have the spike. I portray a 4th us artillery quartermaster sergeant. I am having an 1881 red plumed field artillery helmet made for me( I been waiting on it for 8 months!) However I wold also like to portray the infantry or others of this era that wore the spike! We are trying to figure out how to get the GAF "off the ground " in the Atlanta Ga area. I believe we can do this now with US Scout at the helm.
You can reach me at debick@bellsouth.net.
Best,Cannon Fodder
