If done good spraying some misty water works perfect yes. It will dry without any damages or without leaving stains of some sort. Just don't soak the fabric. Only slightly moisturize it.

Thanks, I will try this later today.

A lovely example.

I find the absence of cushioning just forward of the ear flaps interesting. Perhaps an economy measure from the early war period? They appear on helmets made pre and late war.

Congrats on your purchase!

Decided to pile on with my leather version.

Hello Natjer

Very nice early 1936 model with its vent holes

That would need additional photos.

I 'll post mine later

I also saw this helmet but passed. The seller that sold you this has some questionable items on E-Bay. I suggest you have a look: https://www.ebay.com/usr/sephiroth16...p2047675.l2559

He is talking about my helmet.

llegion, I have also looked at the sellers' other items, but I still think that this one is good.

Hello guys.

Beautiful leather helmet. Rare and nice item.

I never had the chance to find one. Let me show you my canvas helmet.

Yep, i'm not fan of this one either, the seller only sell fakes since years and he has alot of "authentic" tank helmet and rare uniforms ! The one shown is not good for me.

The only reason I say that is because of the fabrics, the "plushy" grey black is a good indicator of fake helmet and I don't have alot of trust on the stamp either.

Some of the tank helmet that i had in the past
