- In this video, I will show the restoration of the World War 2 Romanian helmet . This model of helmet was M39 used by Romanian forces at the World War II. This is a copy of the Netherlands M34 helmet. This helmet has been in the ground for 75 years. This helmet I renovated to participate in military reconstructions.

That's a Dutch Army helmet from the 30s and 40s. Such rare to see, everyone always talks about or shows images of German, British, French, American, Russian helmets but never the unique ones like this one from Netherlands. Danish, Swedish, Czech, Polish, helmets are unique too!! Love the restoration of this fine piece of history. (Edit) yes ik its Romanian copy, I identify the helmet to be from Dutch origin.
Totaal hier zeldzaam in Nederland ik heb er 150
I did not know of the very Dutch origin of the Romanian helmets. Cool stuff.
I thought that my leaky helmet is beyond repair but this one was in worse condition and you somehow managed to do it, respect for you from Poland.
Very very good job. Kinda reminds me of the US Army "Steel Pot" as they were called back in the day. I wore one daily in basic training ,1966 Fort Lewis Washington. I am sitting here on Veterans Day 2020 reminiscing those times.
Your restoration is excelent and your video is the same. Thank you
Amazing. I couldn't stop watching. You meticulously & artfully restored a rusted, broken helmet, that had been buried for 75 years. A true labor of love & history. Very good video.

I don't know what it calls Restoration or Re-made. To me is what he likes to spend time and labor to make it back the way it was. He loves what he chooses to do and share it with the world is best, and I want to thank you and respect. Please continue, no matter what people say from Oregon, USA.
"That helmet was broken!"
"It has been remade."

Hiya that is one perfect restoration. Well done. I used miliput epoxy putty in my M40 restoration it was to fill in a fracture and not as big a job as you did here buy it worked well too.
Again fantastiic job.

GREAT job! Best helmet restoration I've ever seen. I looks like it was new, I can't tell it was repaired. Respect.
Earlier I thought that it’s nearly impossible to restore that helmet. But good metal work made it possible. This man has good knowledge of metals and their properties.
All these comments full of people moaning about a helmet being given a second chance or not being done properly just let the bloke do what he wants it was quite literally a couple pieces of scrap metal in all honesty this channel deserves more respect how many people are going to fix a helmet that looked like it was at the point of no return because I can’t imagine that there is that many all in all I just wanna say this is a great video and I can respect the dedication to fixing that
Dang, that was some crazy pitting. Usually when you see something so far gone as that helmet was you think there’s no saving it, and though the helmet is now very different to its original state, I think that it’ll last another 70 years thanks to you.
where did you get the leather interior, have the same helmet (better condition), but only the metal part is left.
WOW, that was a total ruined helmet and you patiently worked with it and brought it back to very nice finish. Bravo sir, Bravo! Thumbs Up!
Totally agree💪💪
It's ready for the race/culture war here in the USA. BLM and Antifa vs real Americans.

This helmet should never be worn, rather; be put in a place of honor and your name should be recognized as the restorer with a picture of the “before” to honor soldiers and you ( you may be or have been a soldier) getting special recognition! Beautifully done by a real Artist. My Dad and 7 brothers served in the military. I am the only daughter and sister remaining-all my heroes and you too! WOW
Might as well be a Dutch ww2 helmet. They used the same model.
And it has been in use by Dutch police until at least the late 60s, early 70s.
it has the oval from the copper lion
this was a Dutch helmet that got used again. ruclips.net/video/SA01HOPsA8M/видео.html

Great work!! I have german m42 helmet and russian ssh 40 helmet( with holes from bullets) where are you from?
Immediately recognized the helmet as dutch! Nice job restoring it. Small piece of history, in WW2 Romania was ripped apart, dictatorship coups, being part of the war of destruction against jews & russians, moving back to allies. A big mess and then Ceausescu, arguably full recovery is still progressing.
Romenian helmet from 1939.with king Carol II badge
Hard to tell dutch helmets are exactly the same
Here is the best example of a dutch helmet : ruclips.net/video/xX8nvEULneA/видео.html
@@JJ-rc4sc no my frend. Its recovered from blac market ww2 from rusia.probabily ukrain.
@@Sofer_de_glont ah oke they are almost the same only diffrence are the dimensions and the front plate
@@Sofer_de_glont i did a little bit of research on the helmet :
There are two types of Romanian helmets: first of all the m38 Romanian: A Dutch production based on the line drawing 'casca de otel', commissioned by Romania and under contract with the Verblifa which in fact was the Dutch m33 with a number of changes in the dimensions and has therefore become its own model with its own helmet emblem. We also know the helmet m73. This own Romanian production is derived from the m38
It is a Romanian military helmet from the WW II.
The emblem is the royal cypher of King Carol the II - nd of Romania.
No, my friend, I must inform u, as someone who is born in the Netherlands, this is a Dutch M38 helmet, similar to that of the Romanians yes, but it’s smaller that the Romanian type in width of the edges, if you put a Dutch and a Romanian one together, they indeed look very much alike, but this one is Dutch, I can say that with confidence as my grandfather had both a Romanian and a Dutch helmet, as well as a. German one in his possession before he passed away, so yes, Romanian symbol, but Dutch helmet
@@senruedisueli976 The Romanian helmets were Dutch M34 helmets that had been produced in the Netherlands at the Verblifa factory. When the king of Romania was removed from power, they began producing helmets without the emblem and called it the M39. Romania received over 600,000 Dutch helmets.
Nice job...it was in itself a test to keep these relics firmly on head during field maneuvers !
It's a Ww1 Romanian helmet .I recognized the shape.That's the emblem of king Carol 1

Awesome work really turned out beautiful 👍👍
Hi where did you get or order the liner most liners on old helmet's are shot. That's a dutch one, mine has a lion instead.
Looks almost new fantastic job hardly believe you could have done such a great job from what little you had to work with the helmet was rusting, pitted, broken, pieces missing junk.....
Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you!
Don't misunderstand strand though the skill and talent to do that is amazing.

Hello Sir,
It is very relaxing for me to see you working on the restoration of these helmets.
Thank you very much for the videos!
an unexplored channel... you did a great job
Nice vid. Luv the no talk all action!😀
I thought that there was no hope. How nice that you have the skill and desire to make this old helmet new. Thanks!!!!!😃😃😃😃
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING RESTORATION!!!
Great job!
One question:
Why did you use two different substances, one for the outside and one for the inside?
ruclips.net/video/bDDRl1nKFJk/видео.html water Pump Restoration
You should let us see the welding process, some restoration channels did show it and for me it makes the whole restoration video complete
You're very talented but some helmets must stay in "frontline condition". You did a nice work btw!
Bringing history back to life well done SIR!
It looks really good!
Also if you don't mind, If the liner is a repro, where did you get it? I've been trying to find a liner that looks like the Dutch ww2 one but couldn't find anything.
Where did the other piece come from? Did I miss it?
Good job. Please explain in the description why you didn't film the welding. Some people may not know and they may end up finding out the expensive way.

@@hasanthasasika3685 Get out of here, stop.
Amazing time and persistence to bring that wreckage back to new appearance! My only surprise is that you could (presumably) get the correct green in a spray can. Are true military colours available like that where you are? I don't think you'd settle for "close enough" after all that work!

Is there any reason not to use electrolysis to remove the rust?
Is it too large of a piece for this to be effective?
Wouldnt it make the layers uneven or even creates holes within the steel, that would make it harder to work with
Despite what some may say you did amazing can't even tell it was in pieces and welded back together.
Surely this helmet is used in the world war two, is an antique one no doubt in my suggestion . This may bring thousands of Dollars, if you go to a antique shop., you could sell it as it was ,without restored. Anyway you done a marvellous job. I'm from Srilanka.
Beautiful restoration, this helmet was worn by both the Dutch and the Romanian army during the Second World War.
Very nice. I’m not familiar with this style helmet. What is the purpose of the slotted hole in the back.
Процесс восстановления просто шикарный,до момента покраски... Ну почему в зелёный цвет?
Да я согласна с тобой процесс отличный но почему в зеленый цвет
What was that paste called that you used to fill in the pitting?
My reactions:
Beginning: That's not a helmet, that's a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces!!!
8:34 : That's not a helmet, that's a sieve!!!
Ending: That's fantastic!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Great job 👍
Amazing skill and dedication.
Never would have thought anyone would bother restoring that 🧑🏭

Será que só eu gosto desses vídeos assisto do começo ao fim.!

wow...the moment I saw it I knew it was a Romanian WW2 helmet...Thank you for restoring this particular one.
Thank you very much for watching.
I still have my grandmother's sweeping broom. We have over the years had to replace the handle and brush several times, but it's still Nana's broom is it not?
no
if you've replaced every bit of it since it was in your grandmother's hands I'm afraid not
Looks amazing, what a great job with the restoration. Didn't think it was possible, but I feel it would have been a bit better in camo green finish.

Great job preserving history my friend !
What was the slot on the back by the brim for?
The slit îs for belt to carry on backpa k lid. Helmet front towards the ground rest în leather gap on the lid and back is secure with short belt strap on the lid în upper place.
The story of the helmet is lost forever.
Finbar Stadt why bother watching if you are going to be negative?
And the story continues with it as there’s now a video on RUclips of it been given a new life.
The story is that the owner of this helmet got domed by a bullet or piece of shrapnel
The story is most likly that a loose helmet on the ground or in the soil, because someone dropped there (maybe because it was damaged or obsolete) had been run ower with a heavy vehicle in the past, or it has been damaged by an excavator or something else like that so i think no significant piece history was destroyed.
Bruh someone blew the fuck up and they're helmet was left there
The story of the helmet was ended, doomed to rust untold - now it continues
Great effort mate. I am looking at my Fallschrimjager Helmet shell, that Dad bought back from France.
It's nowhere as bad as that helmet, just pitted and needs paint.
Your work has inspired me. Thanks and I Have Subscribed.
Cheers Kim in Oz. 😎
Don't paint or restore that helmet in any way, you will destroy the value. The one in the video was probably worthless in the condition that it was in so no harm done.
Ok thx for advice. Dad would use it as a Odds n Sods bucket. If he stripped down a Car part or somesuch. He would put the Parts in it..!
Is that part of it's History too..??
He was a Royal Marine 1941 to 45. He Wouldn't talk about 'over there.!' But he lost Parts of his Right hand and would Joke, a Wolf, Dog or Shark got it..!
When he was in his 70's he told me what reallly happened.
It involved the 'Axis forces..!'
He Swiped a few medals n badges, which I still keep with pride for My Dad..!!
Cheers guys. Kim in Oz.
My favourite Restoration Channel!
Thank you, bro.
That's some world champion welding right there
I like that you gave the chemical formula for your rust remover. C6H8O7 is the chemical formula for citric acid. A weak organic acid found in fruit. That worked surprisingly well. A sandblaster would probably have been quicker and easier, but not everyone has one of those. I've seen people use auto body filler for the pits in the metal and did some welding in the more extreme cases. But your use of tin was interesting. Is that some sort of tin compound in solution like what people call liquid tin? Or is it more like a solder paste? The use of a torch suggests the later.
Красавчик.Очень хорошая работа...
Nice reNOVAtion.
Understandable for there wasn't much material left to work with.
Now it can be used again for WW III , together with an army green mouth diper.
Wooow. Congrats!! Good job. Amazing!!
at 14:32 the helmet changes, what is up with that or is it just me seeing it??
Que impresionante restauración...!
Nicely done!
I need to know where you got that helmet liner from
I would love to know how many actual man hours went into this. Amazing restoration.

Oh, snap! That was pitted straight through! What an excellent renovation.
I don’t know alot about Romanian helmats. Whats the slit in on the back for? Is it where the netting attaches?
The slit is for belt to cary helmet on backpack lid.
Unbelievable craftsmanship.nicely done!
One consideration is to use thermobond-3 to fill the pits, then use a powder coat primer filler.
What ratio of Citric acid (C6H8o7) to water was used to make your homemade Evapo-Rust?
A quite piece of magic to make a helmet out of 3 rusty egg shells!!!
Nice! Is that a Demark helmet from 40's?
You are doing great! ❤
Absolutely superb workmanship
I think you should have braised it with the tin bar like they do when Auto body shops. That way you could have focused more on the holes and covered them.
Awesome work You have my respects.
Didn't even see the title and I could tell it's a romanian M39, really apreciate it, amazeing restoration!
"my mechanics" would have made a completely new one! ^^ - But: Gr8 Work!!!

hey i got one ww2 helmet dug complete with a skull inside it bu one of my friend and the skull was being preserved cleaned and they make it as a display.

from were did you get the emblem
I bought on eBay.
@@wwiituberestoration1011 for how much
Wow, before you added the tin you had a nice pasta strainer.
how much cheaper is that home made evapo rust over store bought?
Trabalho primoroso. Bravo.
from a lousy few bits of rusty scrap to a work of art! Well done sir :)
A fantastic restoration to such an iconic piece of history, just wondering
the country of origin. I've seen a majority of WW2 helmets but not this design, it looks post WW2 to me.
Now, when it comes to the damage it looks unrepairable and beyond saving but you did it. I've seen dents, dings and bullet holes in helmets but nothing like this, especially being cracked into three pieces like that.To a historian and a collector you did the unimaginable by destroying all the patina and the history of the helmet, it would have made better sense to keep it in the original damaged condition for a meusum or a serious collector to tell a story.
It's a romanian helmet, historian
perfect restoration
Great video!
