I had to repair my helmet today, and I thought I would show the forum. It was a beginner repair. No tools involved.
I've attached two pictures, a before and after shot.
My helmet fell off my bookshelf onto the floor and the cheek piece was bent down the middle.[attachment=1:1rdnfb5j]<!-- ia1 P1010008-1.JPG<!-- ia1 [/attachment:1rdnfb5j] I thought I was going to need my anvil and hammer to repair, but I managed to rebend it around my leg.
The second picture is of me with my "repaired" helmet. It's definitely got a lot more character now.

I just thought to post about it to let those beginning re-enactors that repairs like this aren't too bad. The whole process took me ten minutes from start to finish.
