<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spartcom5, post: 1546697, member: 5213&quot;]I received my dag back today from its restoration and I am very very impressed with the level of restoration/conservation this piece received. The picture looks amazing and I couldn&#039;t be more pleased. However..... I ran into something I am not sure about. I don&#039;t know if I screwed up or what. I had the spine repaired and paid for it I think $45. When I received the dag I opened it up but noticed it was super tight and only opened up somewhat pictured below. Well, I wanted to be able to see the picture without the front cover kind of obstructing so I opened it further and heard a tearing sound.......... low and behold in the internal spine repair ripped. It is still held together very strongly but it just opens a lot more. Did I open it too far??? Or was it originally supposed to open only like half way?</p><p><br /></p><p>How far it opened when received</p><p>[ATTACH=full]228649[/ATTACH]</p><p>The spine tear, you can see how tight it was and how far it split apart... Looks like it was tighter towards the top thus tore there first and continued down</p><p>[ATTACH=full]228650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228651[/ATTACH]</p><p>How far it opens now</p><p>[ATTACH=full]228652[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
