Yes, the red helmet plume is removable; it is often supplied separately and can be inserted into the holder on the helmet and secured as needed. The following care instructions apply to the steel and brass components: - Corrosion protection: The helmet is often supplied oiled to prevent rust. Always store it in a dry environment.
- Cleaning: Use a soft cotton cloth for cleaning. For light surface rust, a drop of precision mechanic's oil can be used, wiping off any excess afterward.
- Brass care: Brass components can be treated with special polishes for non-ferrous metals to maintain their shine, if necessary.
- Storage: Avoid moisture and do not subject the helmet plume to unnecessary pressure during storage to preserve its shape.
