I don't like it. The backing and sloppy details of the lettering are a big problem to me. The "M" is really different from known originals.

I think Willi has summed it up for me too.

I don't like it either. The letters on cufftitels always go straight on. This one is starting low to end higher up. Am I telling English here ? (do you know what I mean) That's my opinion

Bad one.

I understand what you are saying, but I do not agree. HG cufftitles are different. Look at every textbook original (check out the ones in the Williamson/ McGuirl Cuffband book, for some examples) and you will note the last "G" is usally smaller than the other letters.

This one is fake for other reasons as I mentioned. IMO.

Thanks guys, for the opinions. I didn't notice how sloppy the lettering was until I photograghed this cuff title.

Just to illustrate Willi point about the "small G" for those of you without the book. Here is my very worn example.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Willi,

It's not what I meant. I know that of the "G". If you look at the cufftitle you will notice that it begins lower (starting from the "H") and ends higher up than it started.

You see Willi and Ade, this one has the same height all over !!

[Adrian Stevenson]

I know what you are getting it You mean it was not embroidered level.

Cheers, Ade.

That's it Ade. Thanks for the help

[Willi Z.]

Ok, now I understand.

But, that is not always true. Originals do not always have to be sewn level. It can help tell good from bad, but the quality of the lettering and base fabric are better indicators.
