Well that didn't take long!
Here are some pics of the progress that Roland send me last night. In my discussions with him about doing the restoration, I indicated that I wanted a minimal restore and to keep it original as possible. He agreed to take it to a point he felt comfortable with (since his name would be associated with it) and then let me decide if i wanted to take it any further.
Based on the pics below I have decided to stop the restoration at this point. Considering the condition it was dug, I think it turned out pretty amazing! :yes:
Now I just hope it is the prewar style and not postwar. :dontknow:
