opinions on this GD cuffband, please ...

[pep]

I don't like it but perhaps more expert collectors in GD can let more information ...
thanks!!!!!

Notice how the script is angled down, higher on the left and lower at the right. Seems like a flaw not seen on original examples. Would not an original display the line of script positioned horizontal and level to the eye between the upper and lower borders of the CT?

quality and control?

[GD/LW]

Indeed a bad one. All the cufftitles I've seen were embroidered straight !

[GD/LW]

Exactly what I mean Scott.

Tunic is a correct M36, but litzen are sewn on after, it needs a close up inspection whether the shoulderboards are correct and sewn in originally as well as the eagle. CT is copy. This is my opinion.

could be M34 tunic???
this collar appears to be earlier.
what's your opinion???

[GD/LW]

IMO it's a M36. I don't see the stitching so typicall for the M34-35. Shoulderboards are indeed the early type as Scott says, but we mustn't forget that the shoulderboards may be attached later on or even post war. A GD infantry is worth MUCH more than a normal M36 infantry
