Mike,

I like the 'look' of this cloth EK I. Unfortunately, this is one of those pieces that one has to go with their gut feeling. I can't say with 100% certainty that it's a genuine period piece but I would consider it for my collection if the price was not stupid. An in hand evaluation would be the way to go.

Hope this helps some. I'm sure other collector colleages will chime in with their considered thoughts.

All the best.

Since they were not authorized during Imperial times you might want to have the TR guys look at it.

Exactly what I'd say too.
