Default Repairing a pennant cut with a knife

I love old photos like that. Thanks for sharing it.

I have an interesting challenge for the collective wisdom on this thread.

So here's the story, I bought a couple of pennants recently.
  • 69 Mets Champions Photo pennant
  • 1962 Yankees Champions Photo Pennant

So far so good. As I live in the UK, I use a shipping service in Florida. I get deliveries sent there and they store them for up to a month and then combine them in a single shipment to the UK.

The process works like this: package arrives at the shipping service, they open it up, take photos, identify the relevant customs category and let me know what's arrived.

Generally this works really well....occasionally it doesn't. It seems that when the 2 pennants arrived at the shipping service, somebody used a knife to open the box and cut through the pennants too. They compensated me for the damage, so that's OK. But now I'm left with 2 really nice pennants except they have "knife wounds".

Any thoughts on whether they can be repaired? and How?

I'm on the razors edge waiting for some sharp insight .
