A second project underway which belongs to James. Here we have a Garde shako needing both visors restitched plus a bad case of measles. Sometime, somehow, something chemical has been sprayed on this piece resulting in "pox marks" in the finish. God only knows how this happened ??? Anyway, it can be fixed but it is going to take time and effort. Photos:
Rear visor has already been stitched on and the first coat of finish has been applied to the rear section of the helmet.
The entire shell is pock marked from whatever chemical was sprayed on this helmet. These will be filled in until they are no longer visible. To be continued.
