Hey everyone! Fairly new to the JzP community. I have been looking at sellers to hopefully get a more complete version (I previously just owned a shell that someone unfortunately and quite amateurishly tried to restore). Could someone give a quick look at some of the JzP examples on these websites. Mine has a JzP stamp as well as the helmet size, and I wanted to know if that was standard for these helmets. Also I had seen others point out to look for numbers close to the wappen, which I believe my model has (you can barely see them painted over).
Anything helps - feels a bit overwhelming with the amount of details to look out for, and some of their examples look "too old," making me wonder if they had spruced them up to look more antique.
