Hello All,
A friend of great skill is helping me with a photo colorization project, on a photo of a KM officer(?) in my collection. I know very little about KM uniforms, focusing more on badge collecting. But I thought this would make for a neat display piece along side of a Minesweeper badge.
Attached is the original photo, in black and white.
Attached also in the first pass at colorization. I've talked with him about the badge, dagger, and dagger hangers.
My question...what color should/would the gloves have been? Brown leather doesn't seem right to me, but I honestly don't know what would be most appropriate.
Further, how do the should boards look? Hopefully some experienced KM uniform collectors can fill me in, as I don't rightly know.
Finally, while I'm posting, can anyone tell me this individual's rank? Would he be an officer, or more like an NCO?
Sorry for my ignorance; like I said, KM uniforms are outside of my depth.
Would appreciate any input, before the gentleman helping me makes any corrections.
Thanks in advance.
