Welcome to the forum !
If you have a 100% genuine Normandy relic for me you need to leave it as it is , as a piece of history , if you refurbish it that history is completely lost !!

Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I agree with Paul, by all means have a play around with a relic helmet if that's what you want to do but not one that can be traced to a particular battlefield or unit etc....grab a generic one which has no particular importance, don't bugger up a good one that could be the centrepiece of a display.

+1 from me. Just imagine its history!

Hang on, how can you determine whether or not it is particularly important? How does one helmet with a traceable history become less acceptable to restore than a "generic" one?

We are only giving our opinions of course , the helmet is yours to do with as you see fit !!

Oh no I'm not arguing a certain point of view, The reason I bring it up is so I can understand why people are for or against restoration.
