New Helm

 Greetings

I have just bought a new houndskull bassinet.

A former member of the Paladins of Chivalry sold his armour to the club and they are selling it on to members.

The helm needed a little bit of work. Both helm and avental were rusty, it had lost one of the brass tethers for the visor-pin chains and there was no wire holding the avental on.

I have made a new brass tether from a piece of old electric plug.

Here's the one that came with the helm.

and here's my replacement one.

It's not quite as round as the other one, but it's not bad for a first try and it does the job.

As usual, I've learnt a bit doing it.

Now I've just got to remove the rust from the helm and visor and polish them a lot..

and then take on the messy job of getting the rust out of the mail avental.

Until next time

Adieu
