What do the fine people of this forum have to say about this?

It has a JzP eagle on it, so that would make me suspect that it is a parts helmet in other areas as well, such as perhaps, a replaced liner (chin strap... ?). But yes, surface rust.

ah right, as the proper eagle for this helmet is like the one in your profile pic?

still so much to learn, thank you.
 
Yes, except brass / gilt brass. I think even the most knowledgeable of us here would say there's always more to learn. You've come to the right place. Take a look at the Kuerassier section if you're interested in that type of helmet. A lot of good helmets to look at there... and drool over.... :wink:

Yes the kurassier use the typical Prussian "line eagle" as shown on Ron's avatar although that one is in white metal. The plate on the helmet you posted belongs on a Jager zu Pherde helmet which is a metal lobster tail like this one but with a "stepped visor". Your helmet is from a kurassier regiment, not JzP.
