I'll share some photos from the St. Petersburg Artillery Museum.

Grenadier mitre of the Guards artillery regiments of the Catherine the Great I carried out the restoration work

Please. I'll post a photo of a miter from the time of Catherine the Great a little later. It's under restoration.

Fusilier cap of the Tauride Grenadier Regiment. Reign of Paul I. The regiment took part in the Dutch expedition with English troops in the campaign of 1799.

Grenadier cap of the Life Guards Izmailovsky Regiment during the reign of Paul I. Cap model 1797-1799

now it looks like this

The helmet dried. Next, I installed a horsehair plume and stitched the fabric to the liner.

I straightened it on a press and glued the broken rear visor. Then I sewed it to the helmet.

I completely disassembled the helmet, straightened it out a bit, lubricated it with cream, and renewed the varnish coating.

The helmet was very small in size, and it is even possible that it has become smaller over time.

Greetings everyone. Another recent restoration project: a dragoon helmet, model 1909. A friend bought it at auction and asked me to do some tidying up.
