It can't get any worse since it's spread over the entire surface. Too valuable of a helmet to mess with, you would only decrease the value & desirability. Thanks, D</blockquote> +1 , helmets like these do not require any treatment. It will degenerate now that you will keep it in a normal environment. If the rivets are not of this helmet I would take them out and display it as is.
