Hello all,
I have recently acquired and am working on restoring an M15 tunic issued to a man of the prussian guard however it has been converted for civilian wear. I was hoping someone might have some opinions on how I should go about the restoration since the belt supports have been removed (I do have the proper replacement ones) and am unsure as to exactly where they should be positioned on the rear of the tunic since I have seen them in different spots on different tunics. Also on whether or not to leave the rear strap on the tunic. There is much to be done and any advice would be appreciated! At the end of the day I intend to display this with my prussian guard pickelhaube and field cover since they are both dated early.
Thank you,
Will
