This Is a proper conservation unlike those who just remove all original details and just give it new everything until its basically a new helmet. This helmet looks great. The only thing I would say which I know would take a lot more time only for a small detail, but trying to preserve what is left of the lining and trying to reinstall it would have been amazing. Other than that very impressive work especially on managing to preserve original paint.
Hello from Russia, the city of Eagle , I also like to search for this kind of things of the 2nd World War in my area , and then bring them into a good look if the condition allows , I also collect 7.92 casings by manufacturers of factories , I want to say a great job ! You have preserved the old oskras and even preserved it, definitely like it, I love military history and therefore it was always important for me not to translate into a new look, but to clean up to the extent as in the video to preserve the old color of those things is worth a lot, I am delighted to finally find a normal restorer who respects history and treats she is in awe, I haven't seen this yet, everyone usually tries to make absolutely new things out of these things, but it can't be because they belong in a museum and they are more than 80 years old! It is especially upsetting when the preserved factory color is removed by some regular restovrator who wants these things to shine and shine
Респект вашему мастерству👍!30лет назад мы к сожалению на раскопках считали безнадёжно погибшими такие шлемы и оставляли там где находили,щяс с горечью вспоминаю ошибки юности XXвека😟
Very interesting restauration video--thanks from Germany ! I would use saftety goggles when working with chemicals like citric-or oxalic acid. --------My uncle converted these helmets as POW in Russia by forging to cooking pots and vegetable pass-throughs.... The steel was, I think, foodstuff-proof.......In musea with after war items these kitchen tools are still to be seen, even with real enameling.
Great job 👍. The helmet was very rusty, I could not even imagine that so much paint could be hidden under this layer of rust. From now on, I will carefully clean all my relics, so as not to miss anything interesting.
The ground you live on/near really is gentle with these helmets would love to see you try this with helmets found in western europe! they're (often) unrestoreable
Rust growth cannot be stopped. This process can only be slowed down. There is no access of oxygen under the wax layer and the corrosion process is greatly slowed down. In a dry room, this helmet can be stored for years and will not rust.
Hello mate i just bought an helmet wich have some rust, it is in a better shape not that many rust, how much of acid i use per Liter of water to have this effect?
Awesome! Does the wax/heat make the paint crackle or bubble up? Got an M40 in quite similar condition and looking for a way to further preserve it, without damaging the paint!
Hello. Nice work. I just bought a Helmet from Normandie and I would like to restore it. A part of the Oxalic acid what are the other products that you use? Thank you for your help
Is the green liquid towards the end just soap or is that bleach or some kind? Also what is the clear liquid used right at the end with the heat gun? Thanks
Restoring my first helmet, has damage on the rim (bits rusted off where it is folded over). How would I go about fixing this? I thought about using clay and sculpting the folded part back but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do with it.
I wish you would come to the Philippines. On the final push in Bataan, the Japanese brought in a line of bulldozers and simply buried the first line of American defenders alive. There has been no legal, official effort to excavate or explore the area where the trenches were to recover bodies or relics.
To remove the rust wouldnt it be also appropriate , before any other technique to apply electolisys, and after all the other means you used. The hammer .... ? just a note, not in anyway a critical statement. I love and respect your work.Keep up meking these wonderful videos.
That helmet is still rusting and that preservation will not hold for a very long time. I know people consider it an offense to thoroughly restore an helmet or sometimes people say the opposite as Stahlhelm are pretty common so you can do whatever you want with them. I do think there is a way to restore properly it without spoiling its personnal history, some sort of ideal middle ground. I think a better derusting process to completely remove the corrosion, removing the original painting followed by a bluing and a new paint would be ideal, you wouldn't let a bayonet half restored like that and I think helmets shouldn't be half restored as well. The pits and bangs would still be there, you would still be able to tell it's an original WW2 helmet and it would be nicely preserved for another century. I didn't like that video to be honest. But it's not my helmet and you obviously do what you want with your relics.
Love how you preserve history instead of trying to make it brand new
I got you but I'm more of the other way,looks over originality.

Corrosion must be removed.
🙌
Well i wouldnt repaint this either, even a little speck of original paint makes the helmets price skyrocket and these are already expensive enough

That's an amazingly well-preserved helmet.
It was awesome you preserved as much of the original paint. Kudos to you and thanks for preserving history.
You did the best that could be made of the helmet. A real original helmet. Greetings from Germany Torsten

Ficou perfeito, parabéns 👏👏👏👏. Saudações do Brasil. From Brazil.
Insane job! Well done, it looks brand new. I am amazed it turned out so well!
🤣🤣
No!

Very nicely done! I preserved a Hetzer track link a few days ago. It's very important we preserve as much History as we can!😃
Beautiful, it’s nice to see that you’re still preserving history.
Great job 👍. The helmet was very rusty, I could not even imagine that so much paint could be hidden under this layer of rust. From now on, I will carefully clean all my relics, so as not to miss anything interesting.
Excellent conservation skills, as we have come to expect from your channel.
Very nice!
I love your videos man.
The ground you live on/near really is gentle with these helmets
would love to see you try this with helmets found in western europe! they're (often) unrestoreable
Отличный результат!!!
Stunning as always. Keep up the great work!!!
If you want to, you can watch one of history secrets helmet restoration videos and get more of a idea of how to make them look better
Amazing! I am extremely excited about what you had done! ❤❤❤❤❤
Isn't the rust under the wax still keep going?
What you have done looks great!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for your channel

Hello mate i just bought an helmet wich have some rust, it is in a better shape not that many rust, how much of acid i use per Liter of water to have this effect?
I use about 100 grams per 10 litres of water
@@wwiituberestoration1011 thanks brother, i just got a m35, i will post a vídeo restoring him.
Interesting that how good quality is helmed under rust, nice video 👍
That original paint though wow
Parabéns ficou muito top, abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Good job as always
how do you know before which helmets can be recovered and which can't?
I have a question. Why the paint is now gray?
Nicely done Sir. 👌
Excellent work as per usual.
Looks fantastic.
Why not using the light electrolisys to remove it and leave the paint clear
Hello, insane work man, what was the green liquid that u use ?
Where did you get the acid from?
What is the detergent you use after the Oxylic acid? I see a lot of people use it on rusty helmets but no one tells you what it is..
I'm surprised there was any original paint left for you to preserve.
Awesome!
Does the wax/heat make the paint crackle or bubble up?
Got an M40 in quite similar condition and looking for a way to further preserve it, without damaging the paint!
What ratio did you use for the acid? like every gallon was 5 cups of the acid for an example.
Did you save the split pins?
Hello.
Nice work.
I just bought a Helmet from Normandie and I would like to restore it.
A part of the Oxalic acid what are the other products that you use?
Thank you for your help
I use oxalic acid and a toilet cleaner that will contain hydrochloric acid to remove limescale.
Are there ways to remove the wax to take another acid bath? I already coated the helmet in wax but realized it would need a new acid wash
Is the green liquid towards the end just soap or is that bleach or some kind? Also what is the clear liquid used right at the end with the heat gun? Thanks
Nice find.👍
Fantastic job!
*Привет!!!Лайк от Питерских копателей Войны!!!👍👍👍👍👍*
This helmet is a great piece of memorabilia.
Можно еще смеситель в ванной почистить, видно что ему тоже нужно это))
That's an early M40 cause it has the aluminum liner band with the square chinstrap loops.
Привет.Отличная работа!
Что за средства гель использовал ?
Toilet cleaner "Toilet duck"
That's not restoring that's preserving, you did what a curator would have done. Good job with the wax.
Very good 😊
Restoring my first helmet, has damage on the rim (bits rusted off where it is folded over). How would I go about fixing this? I thought about using clay and sculpting the folded part back but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do with it.
Very nice preservation.
Superb.
good job 👍👍
Nice restoration! But why didn't you put the liner band back?
Unfortunately, the liner rotted irretrievably.
Awesome.... the wax gives it a perfect non over-restored look. 👍👍🍺🍺
It appears to have been a double decal apple green helmet at one time.
What is the reason for scrubbing the helmet clean before hammering the rust? And why didn't you hammer all of the bulging rust spots?
You are so lucky to have one, the closest thing I have is a n m40 Finnish helmet
I wish you would come to the Philippines. On the final push in Bataan, the Japanese brought in a line of bulldozers and simply buried the first line of American defenders alive. There has been no legal, official effort to excavate or explore the area where the trenches were to recover bodies or relics.
В чем реставрация заключалась ?
Very nice restoration and video 👏👏
I always keep the helmet liner the way it is..and preserve it as good as possible while it’s still attached the way it was
Does the treatment last forever once the wax is applied? or how often must it be repeated? thanks and congratulations. Mike.
Есле будите хранить в отапливоемом помещении , то храниться будет вечно, повторять обработку воском думаю не придется.
Very good comrade!
What was your purpose when you melted the candle and did it?
I would assume to prevent further rust/oxidation.
Can I send you a WWII Mimeograph for you to restore?
Hey! I wonder what materials you use for this conversation since I plan on doing one myself
Watch my videos carefully. I write in detail all the materials that I use.
How much for you to restore a old helmet that I have?
Inside this is apfelgrun?
Absolutely correct. Inside - apfelgrun
What’s the green stuff that makes the lime scale?
Toilet cleaner
@@wwiituberestoration1011 what brand do you use?
Ever try Evaporust? That stuff works wonders.
Been trying to clean my M35 in the U.S., sad thing is I can't find oxalic acid anywhere. Or any equivalent. So sad
In remarkable condition for being close to eighty years old, and buried probably for most of that time too.
What country are you finding all these items?
nice video i like it
👍👍good
Nice!
Thanks bro
Красава отлично получилось

有下一集？
Was that a bullet hole on the front??
There are no bullet holes in this helmet. There are three holes for attaching the liner and one formed by corrosion of the metal.
Зачем молотком стучать?
Есть натфеля и гравер для этого!
Why you don't remove all the rust?
Czeba było zrobić elektrolize tego beretu pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤔👍
Looks like you left it to much outside 🙂...has started to rust 😎
NEVER TAKE UT A LINER THAT HAS BEEN IN THE HELMET SINCE WW2, IT LOSES ALL OF IT VALUE!
*its also the Hungarian m42 helmet. 😉👍
waited until you remake the swastika sticker. slightly disappointed but very well restored 👍👍
5:45 what is that ?
Dish soap
Esto se quita con chorro de arena......
Is this a restoration??? Dude didn't even remove the rust. Amateur work. And in the comments all people WOW, what a wonderful job. Truly children.
Eso se puede quedar mucho mejor, aún tiene mucho oxido. Un saludo
Хороший колпак получился.
Даа хорошая тюбитейка!
Спасибо за видео!
salut , un tapis ou une bâche en plastique ne serai pas de trop pour ton parquet . amitiés
👍👍😘😘
Forgot to sandblast, retexture and repaint it.. also forgot to redo the wermacht logo.

That's it? It's still full of rust!
