    1876 lacquer

    All mounts and wappen are installed upside down and must be compatible with the helmet visor.I can help you,but it all depends on where you live,because the shipping costs of repair materials and customs duties will make the repair unprofitable.

    1876 lacquer

    You can make the original varnish yourself. The easiest way is to remove the peeling old varnish from the helmet and pour 90% alcohol over it.Firefighter helmets were also painted using this method.

    My new EM-helmet M1860

    Sandy, this helmet had the potential to be repaired. If it weren't for the pre-repair photos, no one would be able to tell what was done. You have a museum piece of the highest caliber, congratulations!

    Paris-Dakar Rally

    A very difficult item to repair, especially since someone has already tried to repair it and the difficulty of repair has increased. Now you need to stay calm and do your job, because the item belongs to our dear Amy.

    Felt helmet repair

    I sewed the leather according to the original mounting holes. The seam in the original was also sewn by hand, as evidenced by minimal differences in width. I spent exactly 10 hours on this task and I am physically exhausted.Now the skin is forming on the mannequin's head.
