Restoration of a Semi-Relic WWII German M42 Helmet

[bigduke6]

I know that the primary rule for collector's is, "Don't mess with it or clean it up.", but I couldn't help it.

Sometimes you have to mess to get it correct or back to how it was, such as your Stahlhelm, nice helmet and not many with there original liner.

Hope this was of interest. I have several other not dissimilar projects on the boil - such as a WWI British Brodie helmet - and will try and upload some pics in due course.

Nice job mark always good to see a restoration, I sold a shell of a M35 some years back which had a big crack on the top, on the side it still had parts of the SS rune decal, very minor parts of it, and a quick glance you would never know, I sold it on as relic but got a lot more than I paid.......
