the copperwork is fantastic. truly inspired. is it just 15mm plumbing pipe and a lot of elbow grease?

as for a sixpence helmet, i don't understand :?

that's a hat isn't it? if it's a old man's hat you want, they sell them cheaply enough in this city, do you want me to find one for you?

Yeah hubgearfreak is right! FLAT CAPS they called In England, usually worn by old gents and men of character on old racer bikes....turned backwards when at high speed of course! Also worn by country folk and young lads with lurcher dogs on the end of a bit of old string ! Me dad has loads if you want one sending his are all oilly like the late great Fred Dibnah's.... bless his soul, the king of Flat Cap wearers
