My try. I thought his true hairline might have been about half way down that dark splodge so I've adjusted that. In cropping it I've made the dimensions about 7X9.

I think you are right on with that hairline assessment Peter.

Nicely done Peter, I think you have the hairline about right.

Thanks Mcgroger for a lovely job. Much appreciated. Will have to try and find another photo to verify his hairline.

I think we should be able to take our unacknowledged restorations off the board when people clearly don't want them, or the OP should lock the topic when they are satisfied with those that they have received, it makes sense to free up the space on the board.

Apologies Carol for not acknowledging your two lovely restores earlier. Your work is much appreciated.  I must admit i had never considered locking the topic

No harm done, I sometimes think that it is because people don't always get a notification of replies.
What often happens is that when a poster gets a restoration that they like and want to use, they often don't go back to the their post resulting in people spending their time on unwanted restores.
Or they simply forget to respond.
