My Russian Artillery officer shako

I made both from scratch, felt and leather, cast the metal medallions, and made the cords.
Was a lot of trial and error, I say the Russian shako I did everything at least twice.
I do wear them at conventions
I still an unsure how they got silver ( and orange threads) as I tried a few products.
