......and finally, with the junior ranking award, a second pattern Godet oaks.......

[Harry]

Thanks for the info. Bob! Here are the imprinted outlines side-by-side!

That is the correct case for the Swords, with the impression, on the lid, going around the corners. The case for the oak leaves has the impression squared and overlapping in the corners. This is an ovservation from seeing over a dozen sets, over the years, from veteran's hands.

Nice set Harry. Would you mind posting a good scann/photo of the ribbon in the oaks/swords set ?

Thanks.
Peter

[Harry]

Here you go Peter,

An absolute original ribbon, 24 stitches per white band, 45mm, nice and tightly woven

[Peter Wiking]

Thanks Harry.

Cheers.

[Harry]

Bob,

Also the case for the oaks and swords has a double embossed line running around the periphery, whereas the case for the oaks has none..........
Oaks on top, oaks and swords below!

[Peter Wiking]

Harry and Bob. These lines on the case. Could it be they were made that way to make identification of the set more easy ?

Cheers.
Peter

[Harry]

Peter,

Probably just a way of making the O&S case a bit more 'upmarket' than the planer oaks case, but that is just a guess!

[Bob Hritz]

Harry,


BREATHTAKING and exactly in the correct cases, as they should be. Money well spent.
