or competent Picklehaube restoration person.

Many thanks! Bill

Bill,

I would start with Kaiser's Bunker.

Do you have any pictures of this helmet?

One main obstacle I can see reguarding restoration of a pickelhaube is finding the missing bits with the same age, ware, and patina to match the exhisting helmet. I see original parts for sale on ebay and most are from Latvia, mostly from what looks to be ground dug items. Prusianglory sells very nice relacement parts but are modern made items
