Hi, Great restoration jobs you have done here, is this what you need for the nb box, if so pm me your address and I will send 2 to you. sorry photo's a bit fussy but Daughter has my camera.
You have a really remarkable skill and the end result is superb.
For me I would be extremely happy with such a restoration in my collection as I know how it was achieved.
It may be that in the future someone buys such an item and then sells it as all original.
It is not so much cost; the question for me is the principal of selling such a restoration right or wrong?
If i shell at this box as restored one, i think it`s ok. Of course buyer must now that. My collection is so little yet and the most items goes thereinto :tinysmile_classes_t
I`ve got Nb.K.L.42 tube and after first speak with seller i didn`t expect there are so fine shape of metal and finally so many paint coming up. Depends on nature of corrosion, sometimes it`s possible to get very good result.
This Nb. tube has been used after war for benzine vessel.
This watermark is like my crafter mark. If someone like to get a original picture without warermark just let me know. I would be happy to help someone who make his research or public work. Adduce this site is nice and respectable http://wehrmachts.kisten.free.fr/
By the way who knows what happened to germanmilitaria.co.uk website?
Good bargain here, cost about 3 euro. Two different techniques of restoration were used, electrolysis for cleaning the cases and acid solution for the rack. Usually if there any hope to see original paint i will use acid and neutralize with sodium carbonate. This one is not good example, because impairment of rust is too large on the surface and only flat coat still extant.
I didn`t expect such a good result as here on the following picture. Interesting is, that the electrolysis saved the original layer of oxigene, usually it doesn`t happen, it takes all off.
So, i found one 8,8 cm blank shell body from iron stack, without fuze and baseplug, no explosives of course! Nothing less, even paint, so i desided to make something. Usually i do not do this trick of eyesight. Result here, no original paint.
