There is a wartime yet to go, but I am pacing myself.

Joe, Col. Ron,

Thank you once again for sharing some wonderful helmets with us.

Joe, is that the dreaded cockade for U.Offiziere mit Portepee I see on the JzP8 helm?

Also, this photo very clearly demonstrates the difference in colour between brass (the wappen) and tombak (the chinscales and spike).

Cheers,

Laurie

Hi Ron,
Another great helmet! Joe thanks for posting!

Ron: Your JzP 6 helmet looks like it has chemically darkened chinscales. Only JzP 5 and JzP 6 wore blackened chinscales. Darn scarce helmets, particularly with the proper chinscales, exceptionally nice helmet.

My mistake, I was looking at the JzP8 helmet. Sorry, guys.

Cheers,

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 examples of this on the forum.

Hi Ron:

Pardon my ignorance, but is that the correct Wappen for 6. JzP? Didn't all the JzP regiments wear a dragoon style eagle?

Confused,

Chas.

Hi Chas,

Line chicken came first, Dragoner chicken came later. See>> http://www.kaisersbunker.com/pt/JzP_helme.htm
