My good friend James who is also one of the moderators here has been very generous in giving me scrapper helmets for parts. He knows that I am always looking for these. Below is an example of one of the pieces that he gave me a few months back. I regard it as an example of "haube restoration" from back in the day! This example could bring either a laugh or a sigh as to what happened to some of our less fortunate helmets.
A bolt, some tin and wire will solve any problem!
This old soldier survived the War but ran into problems after it ended.
When your visor trim is loose, drill a hole and wire it back in place! Again, my thanks to James for the gift....there are some pieces that can be salvaged from this old soldier!
