    Paris-Dakar Rally

    Sides done,working time 8h.Sewing the leather is in the same place as the original holes.Now in front of me the most difficult stage is to straighten by hand and try to eliminate the dents.The object is in such a bad condition that it is not suitable for a dummy head.

    Basically, it's all to do.Tomorrow I have to make up the sides for the rosettes,because one is in an agonizing state, and the other is missing.

    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.

    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.

    Felt helmet repair

    The felt was milled and the first layer was applied. Then, after drying, the material will be chemically stiffened and sanded. I was assisted in the work by Kenny, as four hands were needed to put the insert on the dummy's head.

    Sandy and his pickelhaube.

    The back skin of the visor was glued with some kind of glue.In addition, the holes were thickened with too thick needle and thread.It was very difficult to do something about it.Apart from this shortcoming, the pickelhaube looks phenomenal.The presentation will be made by Sandy because it is his...

    Sandy and his pickelhaube.

    Sandy, that's not a problem. The helmet is nice. I'm just pointing out the previous owner's inappropriate repairs. Repairing this item is a pure pleasure for me.However, summer is the best time for such repairs. It dries very quickly.

    Sandy and his pickelhaube.

    The slit at the back has been re-stitched, and now the entire helmet, including the kink at the top, is being straightened.Now there will be a technological break due to the drying of the item.

    The Pickelhaube has already been repaired amateurishly. I found the original holes which now need to be cleaned.

    Not familiar with this model helmet.

    It's actually kind of weird that the bow doesn't cover the skin. I'd love to see more photos, especially the interior. This will explain a lot whether this is a conversion from a firefighter. The first impression of this pickelhaube is positive. Wojtek

    Felt helmet repair

    This item is being exchanged as a collector's item for an even worse condition, which is completely eaten by moths. Don't worry, the canteen cover will get a second life. Such a good product is not wasted.
