It was not without the use of a hammer to bring it to a reasonably good condition. Of course, first it was necessary to make the material ductile so that it would not be damaged. Next was the application of copper using the 19th century electroplating method. Grinding to make it even for the application of brass. Probably six times like this (0.1 mm per 6 hours). Today I applied brass using the pre-1845 method. The result of my repair good for the initial condition. I did it in parallel with the rail from the picklehaube.
