Restoration project - before
M1943 Technical Generals Parade tunic restoration project
Well, I picked this up for a couple of hundred dollars after the seller had some deals to buy it collapse. I felt that for a little money in, it was worth the risk. It might take a few years to do, and will never be right, but maybe, just maybe, with sacrificing the pants for patches and using thread for smaller holes it can be presentable from a distance. These are just so rare that letting it die would be a crime. I have de-mothed it, froze it for 4 days, cleaned it, removed the 1950's buttons, and will now start talking to restorers. I thought i'd post this pic of the project as it starts; eventually i'llpost the results. DD |
