Sides done,working time 8h.Sewing the leather is in the same place as the original holes.Now in front of me the most difficult stage is to straighten by hand and try to eliminate the dents.The object is in such a bad condition that it is not suitable for a dummy head.

Basically, it's all to do.Tomorrow I have to make up the sides for the rosettes,because one is in an agonizing state, and the other is missing.

My wife says I can fix it, and I believe her.

A very difficult item to repair, especially since someone has already tried to repair it and the difficulty of repair has increased. Now you need to stay calm and do your job, because the item belongs to our dear Amy.

A classic example of Eigentums.Regiment 119 or 123.The condition is not perfect,but I have the satisfaction of owning it.

I sewed the leather according to the original mounting holes. The seam in the original was also sewn by hand, as evidenced by minimal differences in width. I spent exactly 10 hours on this task and I am physically exhausted.Now the skin is forming on the mannequin's head.

Beautiful item, congratulations! Looking at the stamps, it is the same ulanka as in the photo.

Very poor copy.Fake.

The felt was milled and the first layer was applied. Then, after drying, the material will be chemically stiffened and sanded. I was assisted in the work by Kenny, as four hands were needed to put the insert on the dummy's head.

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...

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 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.

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

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

The first step.

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

Beautiful item, congratulations!

It's actually kind of weird that the bow doesn't cover the skin. I'd love to see more photos, especially the interior. This will explain a lot whether this is a conversion from a firefighter. The first impression of this pickelhaube is positive. Wojtek

Very nice presentation, congratulations!

This item is being exchanged as a collector's item for an even worse condition, which is completely eaten by moths. Don't worry, the canteen cover will get a second life. Such a good product is not wasted.
