Hello Dominic, Might I suggest that you scan the photo & try posting the image to a Picasa web album. These albums can be viewed by invitation. No charge for the service & a free program download. I have tried this & seems to work fine. I posted a pix this way & there is a facility for it to be viewed by others. I have posted such an invitation ex GooglePicasa as an example. Off the cuff, your leather sash sounds like a leather bandolier - holds .303 ammunition clips.
