Good luck Coert! I‘m looking forward to see your resultsSo would I, as the felt helmet is on its way to me.
I can't wait for it to arrive! I will try cleaning the smudges from it, gently remove the rests of cleaning substance from the wappen, and figure out which glue to use, and find some thin thread suitable for it.
Regards, Coert.
