Shoemaker–in 1901 and leather repair on a helmet!

Nice card, although I would not let a shoemaker restore any of my helmets!

"Our cheerful cobblers shack 1901

In memory of the training area Alten-Grabow. Reached Magdeburg again this morning (?). Greetings, your brother Hermann."

The shoe maker would be just the man to repair a helmet, restitching a visor, repairing a chin strap, even filling and redrilling holes fir the Wappen. They would have the tread and needles, and the skill.
