Best to have it done by a pro.. www.alexanderandsonsrestorations.com . He's a GWHS member. Primarily does German stuff, but can do allied as well. Just telling someone to use "this" color is completely hit or miss. |

I've done 4 of my own and actually would rather do it myself. (I guess too many years making Indian wars stuff) ;D Thanks for the info.

Echoing Marcus' original reply, contact Jacob Caputo at www.alexanderandsonsrestorations.com/. Jacob has done several helmets for me, and his work is top-notch. He can also help you find an appropriate shell. -Larry |

O.K all,
On the British helmet, does the rubber donut go on top of the felt pad or under it? I have seen photos of both and I want to make sure.

I have seen photos both ways. However, the originals I have actually seen and handled all had the rubber donut placed under the felt pad.
