Another project sent to me by Scout2017, a Garde Dragoner Officer. This includes finish repairs, clean all fittings, and install an original Garde star replacement. The refinish work is the challenge here and will take the most time. These are the "before" pictures.
Extensive crazing/gouges on the visor caused by the chin scales. Joe wants these removed.
Areas of missing finish and crazing.
It is hard to imagine how the garde stern went missing on this helmet, everything else is present.
The interior of this helmet is in mint condition!
There is a pushed in/dented area just behind the Prussian kokarde. I am going to try and fix this as well. To be continued, right now I have cleaned all fittings and am working on the "finish issues". Doing Alan's Garde tschapka and various projects of my own, including a Baden Dragoner officer. :thumb up:
