Back

They look pretty good - except for the mottling. Early construction.

[Sammler]

Looks like tresse was removed? Still hard to find.

Are the button holes straight stitched or just re-inforced, re-stitched? Mike.

[madandi]

Not reinforced, just damaged.

Looks like tresse was removed?

I agree,other than that they look OK to me as well.

[madandi]

Yes that´s true.

Andi,

They look good and used. Is that some white chain stitching on the back of one? Interesting,

Richard

[madandi]

I have observed this stiching on other boards too, but i dot know what it means.

[Richard P]

Possibly they were embroidering cyphers and that one was a mistake and then the cloth got used as backing for shoulder boards after being tossed in the scrap bin. Almost sounds like I was there....ha ha.

Now thats a pair of boards, that guy must have been huge. Perfect example of previous use cloth being used for the backing. Thanks for sharing,
