I can see what you have done, now can you put him back with the others and I will have a go again on the original according to your instructions, but not tonight.
Thanks for your effort.

The big scan made all the difference, as you will see on the
page you posted the main pic.

Take it from there and repost so that we can see how you are
getting along with restoration, I am sure there will be a number
of the restorers that will comment and help you.
