Here are some pictures of the Howard Feed-n-Wax, and the Renaissance Wax.

Zeb, is this your house, or do you run a museum in which all these artifacts reside?

Kaiser, that's an impressive collection as well! You and Zeb have museum-quality collections!

Did this original chinstrap sell yet?

This one had no liner or wappen. I have, however, purchased a couple of JzP wappen, so I have a few to choose from. I will need to move the mounting posts so they will fit in the slits on the front of the helmet(s). I'll also need the chinscales and kokarden.

This is a really nice Kurassier, and one that is not often seen. It deserves a place of honor in your collection, on display.

Ed, The finish on this one appears to be nearly immaculate! All the metalhelm I've collected have required some type of work; cleaning up at a minimum, and many have required extensive paint and rust removal. This looks like a very nice, complete, original helmet. Tim

Update to this project. The great amount of rust covering this helmet and spike made for a difficult restoration. I used a rotating wire brush on my bidirectional cordless drill. I applied my favorite; Renaissance Wax, to the helmet and fittings. All that's left is removing the black paint and...
