Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 This one has been in and out of my collection twice, my friend and I like to trade back and forth lol. Anyway, this one had a very very bad Bondo filler job done to the very top of it when I got it. So , for what ever reason, I thought the original hole or damage couldnt be any worse than that crappy repair job, light tap and the bondo fell right off. This looks like Pick ax damage to me, what are your thoughts? I can see were the first blow grazed off the top with out penetrating. I plan on leaving it as is, or do you think I should repair that hole the right way this time? The liner and strap are reproductions from Prairie Flower Leather Company. Cheers all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davejb Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Tony, dont touch it, leave as is. any repair will not be able to bring back the originality ,only show the attempt to . Its fine as it is. Its a helmet that may or may not have seen action, but was given the death blow by some bloke wealding a pickaxe as was the norm prior to being re-made into something else. It could also have been used as a grave marker but I suppose we will never know 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
