Hello all! A couple of weeks ago i found this Torn E.b. vehicle and air communications instrument!
Attachment 773950
His cap was post war overpainted with a gray color. Beneath the post war photo some letters were visible so i decided to try and remove the paint to see what's underneath!
So i started scratching with a little needle the paint. Luckily the modern paint was of a very poor quality so it started getting off emmediatly!

After i saw that the original paint couldn't be damaged because of it's excellent quality i continued letter by letter...
To reach the final stage took me about 4 hours and my hand got completely numb... But it worthed the effort!
Now i have to clear the rest of the instrument from the dust and the surface rust and it will be perfect! I also found the piece that went on the upper left place instead of the little square metal plate!
What do you guys think?
