To say that this pickelhaube has problems is like saying nothing.Skin like reinforced concrete.No leadingbo seam.To make the repair even more difficult, the previous owner covered the leather with glue.Normally a drama,but the price encouraged me to buy.

I straightened the helmet in my fingers using a little water.The first layer of primer has been applied.

Only the low price and love for Pickelhaube made me become a new owner. It's good that the previous owner didn't repair everything with super glue.It'll be some fun.

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.

A classic example of Eigentums.Regiment 119 or 123.The condition is not perfect,but I have the satisfaction of owning it.

It was supposed to be quick, easy and pleasant, but it turned out as usual.Pickelhaube for straightening and sewing.

I bought it because of the unusual Knopf mountings.I have no idea what model it is. Any suggestions are welcome. Repair will be very difficult and time-consuming.

An hour ago, a parcel with an item arrived from a friend. My task is to repair the leather shell of the helmet. I start traditionally by soaking the item in water and vinegar and scraping off the polish.

I love such items, untouched by amateur renovation workers. This is my first raupenhelm koffer. A small thing, but it makes me very happy.You can see two slits for the belt, but I can't find any information about what it looked like in the original.
