Theorywolf Posted August 27, 2017 Share #76 Posted August 27, 2017 No, not necessarily... To get a clear idea of correct Ranger helmet markings, one needs to study the few pictures that show them, along with some surviving examples which BTW are far less in number than one would think... I agree totally with Johan! Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dando1944 Posted August 27, 2017 Share #77 Posted August 27, 2017 Very nice looking helmet. I have used saddle wax on many helmets…. that seals the rust from continuing and when it dries you cannot see it. Either way you have preserved it from getting worse and thats a good thing.

anton67 Posted August 28, 2017 Share #78 Posted August 28, 2017 To PIPO: Amazing helmet! To all: I do not use any chemicals or preservatives on my helmets. If you keep them in a climate controlled room rust should not progress further. You can add a dehumidifier to your man cave to keep humidity at 50% if necessary. You can also get a gauge to monitor the humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dando1944 Posted August 28, 2017 Share #80 Posted August 28, 2017 It also depends on how many helmets and/or other items you have…. a few helmets and thats fine. But if you have a lot - then you need a more permanent solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
