A beautiful old dog just out of the woodwork

Dear All

I thought I would post some pictures of a beautiful model 1915 Adrian helmet for a “chasseur” (equivalent of a jager in the French army) fresh from an old attic.

Never cleaned, never touched and left “as it was” back from the battlefield.

I am very shared as to whether I should give it even a small clean to wipe off the old grim....

Best

Very nice example. I'm never against light cleaning. Dust and dirt from storage aren't really history. If it sat on your shelf you'd regularly dust it.

Congratulations, I agree with Pete, just a light cleaning to remove anything that could possibly create problems in the future.
