I would like some opinions on this kreta cufftitle i|i have had for years. I plan to sell it on the e-stand but need to know which category to sell it in. Real or repro. I think I know what the answer will be.
Thanks,
Greg

hi Greg, the cuff is repro

Greg,
I tend to agree with Mike here but, will say that it's a good attempt for someone that isn't looking too close.
IMO:
- The linen material is close but the pattern is off.
- The letters are not quite right for this version.
- It appears the ancanthus leaves touch the russia braid at a couple of points.
Is this the outcome you expected?

Pretty much. I collect SS cufftitles which have their own issues but picked this up when I had the chance and didn't pay that much for it but did buy it as an original. After checking all the other Kreta's on this forum I realized it was probably a fake but wanted other opinions to cement the deal. I will put it in the bazaar section for some re-enactors to sue.

Hi Greg,
Yes, its a shame sometimes and hopefully you didn't lose too much. These are still pretty common and found in decent shape easy enough. The RBN# ones as well.
Good luck!
