Hello all
i've just bought a offizier Prussian guard pickelhaube, not in the best condition, but not so bad, and with the helmet cover.
And i'm asking me how to clean it , without removing the gilt , which is a little tarnished, especially on the spike and the chinscales..
The Wappen, however ,dont need any cleaning and has 100 % of his original gilting
Another question : how to restore the shell , where the lack has some spidering ?
thanks for your comments
