    I bought a front seam schleuter helmet shell from a local antique store for $30. Someone had stripped the original paint off of it I figured I’d have a go at making the helmet look like an original helmet, not to fool anyone but as an experiment to see just how close I could get it. I’m not going to reveal what I did to age it because fakers will start useing the same methods. I used fine cork from war hats, took a few weeks to get here but very happy with the results. I used early war green spray paint from IMA. I am very open to input on the helmet. Without further ado here are the pictures:My Ww2 m1 helmet restoration and ageingMy Ww2 m1 helmet restoration and ageingMy Ww2 m1 helmet restoration and ageingMy Ww2 m1 helmet restoration and ageingMy Ww2 m1 helmet restoration and ageing
