    I'm trying to catch back up -- Colonel Ron Jager heaven

    Yes, the chinscales on the 6th JzPferde helmet have been chemically darkened. All of my remaining helmets are "just the way I got them" other than being a bit more dusty and tarnished. I really prize unit markings and names in my helmets and uniforms and I have really enjoyed seeing the many...
