Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how the wartime AAF refurb depots dealt with A-2 collar hooks on jackets with collar stands when they replaced the lining?
It doesn't seem like they would have taken the time to actually remove the hook and replace it with a new one. (Or did they?) If anyone has a depot refurb and can provide an answer and perhaps a photo, I would much appreciate it.
The reason I ask is that, after 15 years, I need the lining replaced on my RW 1401 repro. I'll likely have the work done by a very competent seamstress who can make a lining no problem but who lacks the specialized tools and hardware to replace the hook.
Thanks in advance,
