    Delicate restoration project

    I can't quite make up my mind, whether to get a professional restorer in, or just leave it as it is. If he makes any errors or lacks the sympathetic touch, I could regret it forever

    I think you are all being a little harsh with you're criticisms,anything brought up from the Titanic is historically important and fetches good money!
