Distressed felt pickelhaube, restoration candidate ?

[RustieNZ]

Good morning. I have the chance to purchase this felt 1915 with a view to restoration. Whilst its shape is still very good, im concerned about the possibility of ever finding some felt to match the missing visor. I have all the required hardware but would be looking for a repro liner. Sorry for the poor photos but they are from the sellers website. Thanks for looking.

You would need another damaged felt to restore it.
And not much of a chance matching it.
But at one time it looks to have been a grey garde helmet
As always I would be interested in it as well.

In my humble opinion, this is not fixable...use it for parts.

Thanks for your input. I agree, its best use will be for spares.
