Over the years, Amy has sent me several helmets to work on. Here are the latest...Garde M15 tschako and a Prussian Feld Artillery helmet. Both of these helmets need some refinish work.
This situation with most of the finish on the front visor missing is very unusual, I have not seen this before.
A nice M15 chin strap, in excellent condition! All of these bald areas will be lightly sanded in order to roughen up the surface before applying new finish.
A typical Feld Artillery officer helmet, with kugel and proper convex chin scales.
All of these areas will be filled in with new finish.
All of this deep crazing on both sides of the shell, will be fixed as well.
There is lots of work here and I have told Amy...4-6 months to put things right. The first layers on both helmets will be put on today.
