Very well done. Looks great!
Take the chin strap and try to age it a bit. I think that will make it even look nicer.
Try taking a black light to the ink stamping. Sometimes that works, depending on the type of ink used. I've had good and no results in the past so you never know.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it with blacklight.

I can only echo what the other fellas have said Paul! I think you’ve done a great job with this project! As MAP has pointed out, the chinstrap could be aged to make it a little older looking. Not sure how to do this but I’m sure there are lots of articles online. I think wetting it and then exposing it to the sun i.e. constant changes in temperature may have an effect.
To me, this could have been found in some barn in France hidden in a dusty loft waiting to be found for the last 100 years or so.
Well done!

For the chinstrap I'll get some relic hardwear. Then I'll have some old leather laying around. Together that'll make a decent chinstrap that's not far of from an original.
Cheers Paul

Well, in fact it was found in France in some barn.

Super job, Paul!
For me, the cockades are a little far gone to be conducive to the helmet, though that missing chunk aligns perfectly with the puncture hole (and the local staining is somewhat disconcerting - doesn’t look like rust)…
All in all, a very tasteful and sympathetic approach.
Love it!
