Baden 111 IR Mannschaft Haube

No problem Mike.....that is what we are all here for. Happy to hear that you found a UK source. Brian
 
"Ballistol" which is for sale on the net and originally developed for the German Army prior to WW1 as a leather treatment for its equipment. I have not tried this stuff yet but it is recommended to me by a fellow restoration expert who has used it for many years. This guy is my mentor...any time I can't figure out how to restore something I email him and get the answers. Brian

As a note on antique leather care I would like to mention a product I use on Imperial German leather goods. It's a British product I orginally found at a Jaguar dealer's parts shop. Hide Food is the trade name and it can be purchased through the internet.

Unlike Pecards and other such leather care products Hide Food contains no chemicals or petroleum based products. It will not darken linen stitching or leather if applied sparingly. On a pickelhaube, I would not hesitate to use it on the liner or draw string. It would not be appropriate for the exterior.
