Restoration of a Semi-Relic WWII German M42 Helmet

[peregrinvs]

I decided this was better in the vintage military gear section than the restoration section as it isn't a firearm. Hopefully you'll find it interesting.

Last year I acquired this WWII German M42 helmet. It was rusty, it had a crack in the crown and the holes had been plugged with lead - presumably to hold liquid. Some pre-cleaning pictures.
