Restoration Services
Here at Alexander and Sons Restoration, we offer a wide range of WWI, WWII, and post-war era helmet and field gear restoration services. We paint helmets as common as German M42s and U.S. M1 to the unusual such as a Czech M32s and the Austro-Hungarian Berndorfer. If the helmet was worn between 1916 and 1960, we can restore it.
