Any advice on reshaping a leather haube body?
I just picked up a M1915 that has been squashed and twisted out of shape,I have bent the rear spine back into shape,the visors need a a bit of restitching,the helmet plate has the orb and leg broken off,the body has a small tear by one chin strap lug so it has suffered some what over the years.Its currently pushed onto a milliners block.
Can the body be reshaped with steam? or is their some other magic trick??
Any advice much appreciated
