Prussian Reserve Officer Tschapka Restoration

Nothing mundane about those shots Brian, in fact (apart from the final result shots) these are the images I find most interesting. :thumb up:
 
Good to hear glenn! I have been very lucky to have gotten into restoration years ago partly due to the fact that I am a half Scot (save $) and that turning back the ravages of time on pieces of History is very satisfying. Running a forum, at least in my mind, requires new posts to stimulate interest so the new restoration projects helps as well. I really appreciate collectors trusting me with working on their treasures and allowing me to share the process with our forum members.
 
Not that I know of, but again I am no expert on these lancer helmets. My first idea, would be that the cap line hook had been lost and that there should be one on every tschapka. Perhaps Max or Bruno can make a comment.

I have seen photos of an officer helmet that appeared to have been made without one....no hole, etc.
