Rough 8 JzP Helmet

[Pontrest]

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 I removed the black paint, there was silver paint underneath. It all came off.
I applied a single coat of Brownell's 44/40 bluing, and a healthy coat of Renaissance Wax for protection. It came with what appears to be the original Tombak spike, so I'll knock the oxidation off it and put the Renaissance Wax on it as well.

Comments, critiques, and suggestions are appreciated.

Regards,
Tim

Here are the pictures of the bluing. The steel on this helmet is different from my other helmets in that it looks like it is scaled when viewed under magnification.

A great start, this one is going to turn out nicely once you are done. No liner or wappen at all??

I love JzPf helmets, It makes me happy to see this one getting some TLC. A very nice start.

This one had no liner or wappen. I have, however, purchased a couple of JzP wappen, so I have a few to choose from. I will need to move the mounting posts so they will fit in the slits on the front of the helmet(s). I'll also need the chinscales and kokarden.
