Nice work! The piece looks much better. For your information, the picture you posted of the sturzhelm in wear is that of a Motor SA man, not NSKK. The twisted cord collar piping indicates that this is a SA man.

Thanks bob, my fingertips are now black but it came out nice, I will post a photo when I get it in a case with some other NSKK goodies.

Great restoration Max.....looks great!! A dagger a sleeve eagle and a pennant would look great together.
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Thanks larry, a dagger would look nice, maybe in the future, or I can just spray paint my SA dagger scabbard black lol
The helmet looks a lot better after the mild restoration. If I had seen this thread earlier I would have suggested you to check out The Kaisers Bunker. He has some very good articles on pickelhaube restoration that could apply to your crash helmet.
