Is it the riding crop piece?

I don't know, so I probably don't own the original part, but it looks fabulous with the hair!

The one on the left makes me think of a broomstick, but surely that's too big, and the others are too rounded to be that, anyway.

I'm intrigued, and will love to know the answer!

Is it the plume for the helm that's included in Set 6325 and other Asian Dragonland sets?

Tierman, I dont have the riding drop but i doubt its 'hairy' enough.
thanks Birdie!
Raven, all 4 tufts are unmodified Alpine hat tuft rotated at different angles.
Pynedor, you mean those tall feathers? The feathers, just like the PM drum snare, would seem flat if seen from the sides.

sorry, I meant the drum brush not the snare

I mean this one here: Set 6325 (http://www.playmobil.de/anfuehrer-der-roten-asia-ritter/6325.html)

I can see that yours are a bit narrower though. ;)

oh, you meant the black tassels....a bit too long but maybe I can try to fashion a long pony tail from these black tassels....thanks for sparking off this idea....by the way, these tassels are very useful for my mongols and korean Beonggeoji(military hats) too
