Specific Can someone clean this up? Uncles Bday present :)

Hello
I am fairly new to photo restoration, i enjoy it and i feel like im learning more.

I have been working on this image of my Uncle, cropped from a larger image. The original scanned photo was quite small.

I am quite happy with it so far but i would like someone to clean it up if possible? I just think the edges look a little rough, particularly around the hands.

I would greatly appreciate any help

Regards

Kai

Maybe a coloured version? with the subject in the BG removed?

Thank you for that, it looks incredible.

However im afraid i need it to be kept sepia if possible

Will the first sepia version do?
