Hello, that is the estimate cost to purchase, I would not estimate the restoration costs, but if someone had the visor and spike its a start.
Ah, you are trying to sell this. I had not realized. Good luck once again (even more so)...

Thanks, I would be more than happy to work on the pricing. Where can we find the correct spike and Visor?

The correct visor will be extremely difficult to find as it is one piece, meaning the trim is stamped into the front visor....
Indeed, and how about the special spike for this model?... Finding an original liner, made of thin light brown leather, would also be most challenging. In addition, there was on these models a thin felt lining between the leather and the metal shell.

Thanks for the feedback, we almost had the spike we found it in RI, this was unfortunately sold to a different buyer....

About 3 years ago a green ersatz kurassier helmet was for sale on ebay....it had the shell and the front visor, but no rear neck guard.
It seems like whenever you need one thing, it always pops up at the wrong time...lol

Something is kind of off with the shell too, I thought the ersatz kurassier had the football base stamped directly into the shell? This one seems to be attached by pins.
Does the tail/rear neck guard have 8 JZP stamped into it?

I noticed your helmet because I have a similar wreck, which is the same model, and in fact complementary of yours: the lobstertail is gone, but the visor (which is riveted to the shell) is still present. The liner is also there, albeit battered, and, more remarkable, the felt lining between leather and metal is also present (this is seldom seen, even in seemingly complete examples).

YES !!! I believe this was the one on Ebay a couple of years ago...the helmet was photographed on a red background and it had a brass eagle!!
