I've used Prairie Flower Leather for a lot of US and German WW1 rebuilds. If you've got a helmet that has survived over a century splurge and do the best liner you can find. Prairie Flower does them beautifully but ebay has some for maybe $50 too. Installing the rivets for the bales and liner isn't that hard and I got paint from 1943 militaria.

Looks pretty good compared to when you got it

Nice I got some original 1938 leggings at an event today

You restore an Civil Defense Helmet, not WW1.

I was just watching the video where you said you were going to do this video

Does the m1917 shell have a similar thickness as the M1 helmet steel pot?

Those helmets are heavy it look lightweight.

World war civil air defense restore parts

Reenactment days I wouldve stripped the white paint first

Steel bb's and shook it around with hot water for like 45 min. Then i washed it out and put boiling water in it with a very very little amount of bleach and let it sit for 10min. Then i washed it out like 15 times then i fill it with hot water and put a denture cleaning tablet in it and let it sit for another 10. Finally rinse it out a couple more times and let it dry
