Diary of the Restoration of a Suit of Japanese Armour - By Clive Sinclaire, restoration by Robert Soanes. Clive Sinclaire has created a record of the restoration progress on an armor he owns, this is a rare chance to see the restoration of an armor that was seemingly beyond repair, I recommend that everyone take a look.

Mac,not many people would be willing (or able) to spend the money required to restore an armor, and not many people in the world are able to restore an armor like this, its a dying art.
