A restored Austro-Hungarian M17 helmet (Finnish issued)
Hey.
Here's the very summed up process of restoring a Finnish issued Austro-Hungarian M17 helmet.
The first picture shows the condition I got it; paint in really bad condition and sanded down to bare metal in some areas. Also the rim in front was bent.
The second picture shows the result after sanding and spray painting the first layer.
From there on I proceeded to brush paint it. Inside it goes around the liner as crudely as normal for these Finnish ones.
