So now your kids get 3 collections worth of stuff. It would be like a MEGA Christmas or in our case an "uber Christmas"

Hi Gwar, attitudes to collecting and adding insignia have changed over the years.
Back in the 1970', 1980's and even the early 1990's this was commonplace.
I have never done it with anything German in my 35 year plus collecting career. If an item was missing a bit of insignia, I pinned it or lightly tacked it in place only.
However, I have done it with British battledress and US class A uniform back in the 1980's. My Mum was a seamstress and all was original and either hand sewn or machine stitched and done with old thread out of Mum's sewing box. I am certain my former US kit resides in collections today (after been sold in 1990) and people will think it original and un touched.......
Cheers, Ade.

If I restore obviously missing insignia to any items in my collection I do as Ade said he does which is to tack it in place leaving it obvious that it has been restored.
Always a risk that after you it will be sold as untouched especially if using original thread.

Jerry
