VAM Lifeguard Restoration/Custom

I recently picked up a VAM Lifeguard for a song, yah he had some heavy damage & was in need of a lot of repairs, but I think I pulled him back from the brink. The chrome on the scabbard was all but worn off & the pommel guard was damaged, so I stripped off the chrome plating to do repairs. The red pieces you see were scratch made. The belt is made from a heavily converted civil war rifle sling & cartridge pouch, bits I picked up cheap. His uniform went fairly fast new suspenders & just a few stitch tacks here & there.

 

Take care
