Coming over from the 'Latest Find' thread, the biggest challenge here will be sewing on the neck guard. Thankfully, I have very fine drill bits to clean the holes that are around 2mm apart. It will just take time and patience. I have yet to purchase fine needles and cotton thread for the sewing, but I'm in no rush. In the meantime, I'll try to locate replacement chinscales. No markings... so infantry? Foot or Field artillery? I dunno yet. No silk inside, but the leather is present.
No more cleaning than a light removal of dust and I hope I won't have to remove the front plate at all, because it looks as if it's been on for a long time.
