Rust cleaned with oxalic acid and then helmet treated with candle wax. There are rust holes in the top of the dome, but the metal is solid, original color retained and the remains of the double decals are visible. The helmet was repainted during the war and the decals were covered up, because now the paint has peeled off and you can see the decals through it. FOR CONDITION AND DETAILS PLEASE CHECK PHOTOS.
