Chas,
I have looked at this thread several times and now I am hoping to add to it. I'm a new member, even though I've been looking at this website for years as a guest, and I was hoping that you could help me out with a couple of things. I am still working on adding photos and size has proved a challenge. What size are your photos above? I would like to make my additions similar. I am putting together a similar comparison of JzP helmets manufactured by C.E. Juncker and Damaschke. There are some substantial differences. I also have a question concerning the trim on these helmets. The Damaschke has oxidized metal trim and an oxidized Wappen, similar to a standard M15, and exactly like the M15 JzP on Tony's website. My C.E. Juncker has the same type of finish on the trim as you have shown on the two helmets above. What is this finish? It is sort of a matte silver, definitely not oxidized. It looks like it could be lacquered raw steel or possibly a thin matte nickel plating. Do you know?
