Here it is...
Here it is! Cheers Alan :eusa_clap
Now I have to work out exactly what to do with it... as can be seen from the photo's, the leather is in bad shape. There is a lot of cracking all over, and rips and tears in the weak points. I don't think it would hold up to being worn... And to replace enough panels to make it wearable would make it an odd combination of very old and very new...
At the moment I am thinking of consolodating the damage, and repairing it sympathetically, and just preserving it as a peice of history...
