Restoration of the German helmet M 35

Restoration of the German helmet M 42 IN C2H2O4
Beautiful restoration of a German helmet from the Second World War. This time I am restoring a very heavy looking old German helmet.
I dug up this helmet in my country, in the territory where the fighting took place.
If you know anything about WWII or warrior helmets, please leave your comment - thanks!
The helmet was very rusty. I removed all the rust from the helmet by cleaning and washing.
If you liked my video, write to me and leave a comment. It will mean a lot to me!

My favorite. Classic and beautiful.

[@agcacustoms2852]

From what it looked like in the beginning it was probably restored post war or redone as a movie prop from a surplus helmet. Great restoration, I'd love to own one of these eventually but antiques like these are super overpriced where I live.

[@stasianatanasov6294]

Usually your own country's surplus is cheap for me soviet era bulgarian stuff is dirt cheap so it might be worth looking into that idk where you live but im sure your country had interesting history and its worth exploring it

[@Maximus2108]

Where do you live?

[@Sociopath_Alien]

You restored a restored helmet. But now it looks Twenty times better. 👍

[@hudryan6374]

Beautiful restoration

[@cousin_productions.]

This is probably a restored post war helmet like agcacustoms2852 said but then again, they had sticker decals, so it was probably a movie prop or something of that nature.

[@jimmymarsh2489]

I really hope to have one of these soon. A lot of fakes selling on Ebay. This one looks all original, even the decals. I would have left it alone but you did a great job and I like your channel

Wait was tht an original or a replica

[@SomethingAboutRightAngles]

Real extreme way of removing split pins. I get it would preserve the helmet’s liner but still.

[@jamescharlton924]

Hey how did you get the fibreglass to stick to the metal? Was told it won’t adhere

[@Dam_ramsa__]

Does he glue the air vent holes?

Can I ask you something. I would like a German helmet for the exhibition, but I don't have the opportunity to pay as much as $100-$200 for an original. Do you think it would be a good idea to remake the German firefighter helmet to look like a military one, they are the same shape

[@albertnoeltoth7367]

[@dughbbj1702]

Find a repo

[@militariahistory9066]

No don’t do that it’s ruining history, perhaps buy a repro.

[@Grammer_Police1]

$100-$200 for an original? Hahaha, mate! Add a zero on the end of each one then your looking near an original m35

[@cloudy_fn_2641]

@@Grammer_Police1 The price of those helmets are different in each country, at least in my country. In country where I live, those helmets cost around 200$ if they are in a great shape:/

What RAL color did you use?

[@wwiirestorer]

RAL6006

[@user-hh6es1uo7l]

Четко, всё сделано по уму!!! Хорошая работа, от меня 👍🤝👍

[@apollopc7]

Nice finish... but not really a restoration if you change the colour, glue in the rivets, cut off the original Insignia replacing for the wrong ones and remove the headliner... looks nice from the outside though.

[@masudaharris6435]

The eagle's head should line up with the vent hole.

[@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon]

Not bad. Definitely fixed some hilariously bad inaccuracies.

[@skripar666]

Sory on ask, may i know which color code you paint this helmet?

[@wwiirestorer]

​@@wwiirestorer По тону,код краски больше похож на 7009(более серый,чем 6006,который тёмно-оливкового цвета) Хотя может это камера так передаёт...

What did he applied surface on helmet in 4:42 does anyone has idea?I need info about it asap

[@paperblitz]

If its not too late for you its metal filler putty mixed with hardener (the tin of filler I buy comes with the tube and a spatula)

[@ronwallace6273]

weld on a new top , trace the hole with a pencil rubbing on paper then put on steel , hammer the top til its got a rounded shape like one you cut off then weld it on in tacks til its complete keep metal butt welding so you can't see the weld then its full no holes , I hope that wasn't real ss decals , I like your work I just hate fiberglass or bondo

Why would you replace the SS decal with the Army one the SS is more expensive
