Fantastic restoration! Always good to put another vintage guy back in action!

How did you mend the neck hook?

Just worked it out of the slot with pliers, I was dreading it, but it came out quite easily in the end. It now has a replacement hook.

Ahhhh the classic toothpaste face wash. It’s brilliant to see a vam being restored, put into a uniform and ready for action Wink.
