Very Rusty WW2 German M40 Helmet Restoration and Preservation. Artifact from the battlefield

Rusty WW2 German Helmet Restoration. I found this rusty German helmet with a metal detector on a WWII battlefield. This helmet was very rusty. But when I washed the helmet, I saw the emblem. I decided to restore and preserve a rusty German helmet to preserve history. There was a lot of rust. I removed the rust and preserved the helmet with wax. I hope you enjoyed my restoration video.

you are AMAZING at restoring and preserving... but for some reason this 1 touched me.... who was the person wearing it... was he PUSHED into service...did he have family... did they reject/support him...did he have friends/neighbors that were imprisioned/ died what would their lives be like if wars didnt happen... soo much memory and events that helemt must have experienced...thank you !!!

@reverendtfg6802 comments like yours are the reason we start wars. Not sure I totally understood the "not see trash" expression you used but putting the blame of the horrors committed in wars in the shoulders of a low rank foot soldier is, to say the least, unfair. Just my opinion.

You did your “normal” miraculous restoration with more conservation than you previously had done. The final result shows the horror of war but also how personal it can be. Well done sir!! The Old Army Scout…..

Excellent as always…. I’ve got two naive questions: was the second time you submerged the helmet was it in oxalic acid? Also, why not use electrolysis?

@ReXtorer Ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes, in oxalic acid. Electrolysis will destroy the remaining paint and the emblem.

You can date the helmet by the rolled edge and the single decal down to a window of a few months in WWII.

Евгене питання чому коли знаходите такі речі, не пакуєте їх в пакет? Адже потім як на мене краще реставрувати. Я робив після лимонки прикривав пастирем декаль, піскоструєм, запаював дірки. Далі вороніня та підмальовка, краще зберігається. Але кожному своє👍

@ReXtorer Ай бұрын

Вперше чую, щоб каску з фарбою в лимонку кидали. Лимонна кислота знищує фарбу. Та й підмальовка… тут повна консервація. Якщо потрібно каску в 0 реставрувати, то електроліз і піскострумінь.

@user-cc4xz3ib7w Ай бұрын

Это не реставрация, а чистка. Реставрация это восстановление утраченного и приведение объекта к оригинальному виду. Но тут хотя бы не навредили. В принципе, объект как старый артефакт сохранён и это уже неплохо.

@user-my8wn3rq5j 20 күн бұрын

В том то и дело, что настоящая реставрация не подразумевает нанесение грунтовок, шпаклевок, красок, китайских декалей, чтобы в итоге получился безжизненный вылизанный гламурный шлем, как в киоске в подземном переходе. В данном случае объект привели к оригинальному музейному виду настолько, насколько это было возможно. При всех дальнейших фантазиях- уже пойдет отход от оригинального вида и потеря коллекционной и исторической ценности предмета
