C'mon guys, take off your anoraks. Marketing material for an exhibition is a wholly different thing than accurately restoring a wartime artefact. And looking at the newspaper photo I could nitpick that the history buff's salute isn't 100% correct with the somewhat crooked wrist. We could be nitpicking for ages....
