Pics of sallet crests/plumes?

Any body have any pics of period crests for sallets? Both of my pictures seem to have been vaporized.

One showed a side view of a helm with 3 feather looking objects and a brooch shape in the center. The other I believe was a round ball shape.

I'm trying to put something together for crested helm tourney use and want something that loooks fairly period.

Generally a sallet might have a head roll that would have plumes attached to its front,
The other was a ball that attached to the top of the sallet that also would have a plume attached to it. But for sallets you would not have a heraldic crest.
I'll find some pics

Another method is shown on the St George statue in Riddarkyrkan in Stockholm:
