Afrika CT opinion

[Nicola.M]

Hello guys,

What your opinions about this Afrika CT ?
Hasn’t the classic camel hair shape, it is the so called “green” pattern ?

Thanks
Nicola

Hi Nicola

Pass on this one...

[Antonio Scapini]

It is not the so called "green pattern", nor a good one.

Hi Antonio

At first glance thought this one was like those we earlier described as a '57 but it's not that version, but yet another fake.

& Nicola

When it comes to the Afrika ct, it's better to stick to the standard pattern w/palms.

Here is the green one for reference.

Ciao
Tim

The canvas-like backing did exist, but I’d prefer the traditional camel hair fabric. Russian braid edging is too thin, the palm trees are a bit shoddy, the logs being unusually almost vertical rather than arched. The first and the last “A” letters look different. As a whole this specimen doesn’t give off the best impression.
