I'm a real sucker for salty shoulder boards - so picked this one up on eBay. It was not as described, but still turned out to be a really interesting board anyway.
The Tresse looks to have been added after the board was issued (the bobbin thread is messed up - definitely not a factory job), and then some removed even after that to reduce the rank. That in itself is kind of interesting.
But what is MOST interesting is that the white piping is NOT piping - there is no flat tail part. It is actually a white cord that is machine stitched along the EDGE of the shoulder board. Look at the pics, and you will see what I mean.
Is this commonly encountered? It looks like a complicated way to pipe a shoulder board.
