And these were during restoration.

This is what the Kurassier helmet marked 8 K looked like prior to restoration.

My third and final metalhelm is this Kurassier marked 8K on the rim. Someone had painted this one black, it had tan speckles on it, a lot of dents, and the spike has had been damaged and repaired.

Next is the JzP helmet that appears to be a 1-7 JzP regiment. Otto Nachtigal of Berlin is the manufacturer, with a date of 1916. When I got this helmet, it was severely rusted, inside and out. I removed the liner in order to completely clean the inside of the helmet. I knocked out several...

Here are photos of the 8 JzP metalhelm with the repro front plate, repro early cockades, and repro silver spike that I bronze electroplated. This helmet has what I believe is an original liner that is falling apart.

Update: I bought an electroplating kit and did some brush-on bronze electroplating that looks like it will suffice for now. Does it look like an original; no, but it looks better than silver, and better than with no spike, or with a silver spike. I would love to get ahold of an original...

My sentiments exactly. I have been looking for 25 years, and haven't come across anything. I recently found a repro spike and base, and I plan to bronze plate it, since the original tombak was a mixture of copper and zink.

Hello all. I'm new to this forum, and I'm interested in getting connections for parts, and restoration tips for the pickelhaubes. Back in 1998 I purchased a Jäger zu Pferde metal helm at an antique shop in Kearney, Nebraska. The helmet had no cockades, wappen, chinscales, or spike, and was...
