Moreover, if this was requested by the vet himself and his family, I don't see why anyone should have issue with this.
Yes all good just hate to see the family lose historical/monetary value.All good Buck. Thats what makes the world go 'round
It's their Effin' jacket!
Continue to be amazed at the arrogance of those who think they know better.
Same kind of chatter heard during election year.
If it ain't yours, it ain't yer business.
Who are you to dictate a veteran what he should do with his belongings?!
And again, it's the vet's jacket, the one he flew and fought with. He and his familly most probably doesn't care AT ALL about the commercial value of the jacket. What he cares about is the sentimental one, and if he wants HIS jacket to look like it was during his wartime, so be it!
I find it profoundly sad to see people thinking only about the value of such pieces and be totally oblivious of the desires of the people who wore it in combat. Who are you to dictate a veteran what he should do with his belongings?!
Well said!
ease up lads, lets not get too personal. Buck, I happen to know A2J, he's completed quite a few patches for my jackets, and like everyone he has views on almost anything if you care to engage him in conversation, and like everyone you can guarrantee it aint all going to agree. unfortunately he was kicked off here for reasons I won't go in to. he has a very great interest in Military items, so he's quite up to speed on keeping originals as they are. But of course not everyone has the same view as we discussed earlier, which is ok. Different perspectives. I'd recommend him to do any artwork if you are so ever inclined to need any completed.
He aint no philistine mate, he's an artiste!
What is " well said" about miquoting me?
I never dictated anything to the Vet in question.
My comment was to the "artist".
Funny, new member comes in, digs up four year old thread, starts a battle that didn't exist. Seems you have a bone to pick with the OP more than anything...thanks for playing though. And no, being a Vet has no bearing on your opinions on this.No problem Skip. Thanks.
Just giving my 2 cents.
Out.
Four years too late for that? I will get in touch with Sean and let him know he needs to go back in time and sort this right away.

I was adressing Cocker, who was demonizing me for not supporting a narrow minded Vet with a hare brained idea that some paint by numbers artist de value his original A-2.
He's now gone, @Cocker. Nathan took care of the obvious attempt to smear a (non) member. I only wish that guys this stupid could step up things a notch to make it a little harder to see what they're about. You know, more of a challenge? But then, prisons are filled with stupid people aren't they?
