Well, after you take off the extraneous brass rosettes, rip off the brass eyebrows and other needless brass trim, all the brass edging that's around the parts, flatten the cheek guards, fill all the holes that were drilled for the aforementioned rosettes, you mean. :wink:
Contrasting all that time together with the price of a new helmet...hmm. I might just go on and get a new one instead. It could be done, mind you, but at a great expense of labor. I think I'd still trim down the long neck guard to a smaller size. One fellow simply trimmed down the neck guard, exchanged the cheek guards for something more believable and stuck a bear skin on top to cover the other features. Seemed to work ok, since you couldn't see the majority of the helmet. :!:
