Probably have seen this one before but any thoughts on it for a black knight look .....
(Mine is already similar to this so ...)

That is a copy of the 'Kornburg Helm' housed at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremburg, Germany.

Here's a photo of the original helm.  The real helmet's ocular is painted that latten color, it's not brass or bronze, and the paint is not thought to be original.  The mini-aventail hanging from it is also not thought to be original.  It's dated to the mid 14th century.  It's a cool looking helm!
