Sandy and his pickelhaube.

It was supposed to be quick, easy and pleasant, but it turned out as usual.Pickelhaube for straightening and sewing.

Looking forward to seeing what's done and how and of course the finished product.

Do you find that the clamps can straighten out the leather without adding any liquids? Regards John Josef

I always gently moisturize the item with a 10:1 solution of water and vinegar

The Pickelhaube has already been repaired amateurishly. I found the original holes which now need to be cleaned.

The slit at the back has been re-stitched, and now the entire helmet, including the kink at the top, is being straightened.Now there will be a technological break due to the drying of the item.

Dear Wojtek,
I'm really sorry this has become so much extra work. If I'd known that I would have returned the helmet to the seller. But that doesn't matter any more. I'm just happy now that the helmet is in the best hands.

Sandy, that's not a problem. The helmet is nice. I'm just pointing out the previous owner's inappropriate repairs. Repairing this item is a pure pleasure for me.However, summer is the best time for such repairs. It dries very quickly.

The back skin of the visor was glued with some kind of glue.In addition, the holes were thickened with too thick needle and thread.It was very difficult to do something about it.Apart from this shortcoming, the pickelhaube looks phenomenal.The presentation will be made by Sandy because it is his object and his joy.
