China Burma India Patch

[Aragorn243]

You can't swap out anything without removing the back. It might be possible to refinish the frame but it would be a mess and could possibly damage something.

It's either go all in and take it apart or leave it alone.

A meeting in the middle might be photo documenting the entire process, creating a photo sheet, removing, cleaning, re-matting in a cleaned frame or replacement frame/shadowbox and attaching an envelope to the back of the frame and inserting the photo sheet with completion signature and date.

I say that because a museum wouldn't leave it as is in that frame.

I like the rustic frame and matting. They seem to me to add to the interest but can't imagine it adding collector value. My vote remains the same. Cool piece either way.

Agreed. The framing itself is quite old which tells the story that someone thought very highly of this patch even when it was relatively “new.”
