A stripped tunic was said to have been carefully restored and then was recently sold and has been cut to pieces and sold as cut offs. If this is true I am shocked at this fakery and wanton act of vandalism.
You'd have thought they would of done a better job cutting it up. What did they use...a butter knife???

Destroying a rare piece of history should be illegal, unfortunately I can believe that some people would do this. People will do anything for a quick buck.
