I searched for information on the site, but may have missed it... I wondered if a person had a pressed felt pickelhaube with a dent in it if steam could be used to remove it. Prices seem to be climbing on the ebay pickelhauben that I looked at, so I bought a M1881 US military helmet. Enlisted...felt, not cork. It has a slight "push in" like thumb size, near top. I wondered if a similar situation might be found on a pressed felt pickelhaube, and if so, could gentle steam directed to the area, and pushed back out could be done. Sorry if question does not belong in pickelhaube restoration, didn't know where else to ask it. Thanks, Oliver
