SS Relic helmet preservation
Hi there,
I’ve been offered this helmet by the same chap who sold me my current helmet; it has a lot of the paint flaking off, but the decal’s survived very well, I assume as a result of its metallic nature/being pressed on to the shell. However, it will be very delicate; he says that the helmet could be coated with a matt clear substance to preserve it. What’re the thoughts as to the helmet/situation? I wouldn’t know how to go about doing this…
