Good afternoon, team. Attached is my latest project; a rough C.E. Juncker 1915 8 JzP helmet. As you can see, it has the Tombak edging and brads. The liner pins have been removed, and they did not come with the helmet. It looks like at some point, the helmet may have been painted black, and once...

For sale: One Helmet Wappen of the second German Empire ($100 + $15 S&H), and one pair flat chinscales ($100 + $15 S&H). Not sure about the Wappen, but the chinscales are definitely reproduction. I prefer originals, but in some cases, originals are not available, so reproduction parts help make...

Attached are some current photos of my current active project: a Kurassier that has been painted black. I started with a dremel, and transitioned to a power drill with a wire brush attachment, as the paint was persistent, and beneath it is a pretty thick coat of rust. I'm in the process of...

I just received this helmet yesterday. I know... I have a helmet problem... This prewar example is nicely unit marked on the rim. I could use some help with the 2.1... I know Jaeger zu Pferd translates to "Hunter on Horse", and the JzP regiments were light cavalry, used as messengers early...

I recently picked up this pickelhaube spike. Upon further investigation, I discovered what looked different about it: it's shorter than a standard model 1915 removable spike. It fits perfectly on a spike base, but is slightly shorter than a standard spike. The brown paint looks really old as...

I've posted some of these pictures to other threads, but this is my first dedicated thread for this helmet. When I first bought this metalhelm, it was painted silver, and the spike, base, and wappen were painted a dull, flat gold color. I spent a lot of time with the dremel wire brush, and...

This JzP will be an interesting challenge. There is what appears to be tan speckled overspray on the original exterior finish of this metalhelm. I'll try some light paint remover in a small, obscure area, and take it from there. Additionally, the spike locking ring is separated from the...

This is a JzP by Helbing and Sackewitz dated 1916 I recently acquired. These are my before photos. As you can see, there's a lot of surface rust that needed dealt with, someone put silver paint on the wappen and spike at some point in the last 107 years. I'm almost done with my restoration...

I picked this helmet up in Rothenburg ob der Tauber this past Christmas eve. I appreciate your thoughts on it.

Here's a post I brought over from the Pickelhaubes section of this website. It's from a seventeen year old post, and I thought I'd bring it up here. It gives a pretty thorough list of helmet makers in Germany from the WW1 era. I'm familiar with Otto Nachtigall, Schultz & Holdefleiss, and C.E...

I recently acquired this 1916 Schultz & Holdefleiss Kurassier Pickelhaube. It was painted silver, and the spike, base, and wappen are painted a dark subdued gold color. I am in the process of removing the silver paint from the helmet, and will have to remove the gold paint from the spike...

Hello everyone. I'm looking for someone who is able to make helmet liners for the Jaeger zu Pferde and Kurassier metalhelme. I'm told Brian Loree is able to remanufacture these, but I can't seem to figure out how to email or contact him on here directly. Any help with this is appreciated...

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...
