VonBierStein Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Nice work. Any opinion on how the insignia should be sewn to the piece? Ran across one that was in decent shape. The sewing on the insignia was horrible. Wasn't too sure so I left the piece alone. I can still purchase however. I want to wait till I have more info.
