Hi Allan, I would not really advise doing anything to your Grandad's AB64. There is an archival materials site here, see what they have on offer:

Conservation By Design Limited - The Timecare Collection

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Gary, always nice to that document

It is worth noting that Free Forces (Polish, Dutch etc) who were issued with British paybooks always had the addition of a photo for ID purposes.

Cheers, Ade.

Here is my Dad's AB64 issued to him as a National Serviceman in the early 1950's. Now in my collection since he gave it me

The basic design did not change much over the years.
