Bleeding out remnants of my old collection... Just want a hear few comments on this piece before I try and list it for sale. By the way, I tried to reply to an ad and it wouldn't allow me. I'm new and I thought Association members had privy to respond to ads? I don't know if I can sell either, but look forward to an answer. Anyway, this is an original Grossdeutschland shoulder board monogram, measuring 22mm X 32mm at the widest and longest points on the "GD", not the remaining dark green doeskin cloth surounding it. I don't know if Scott Prichett is still here, but comments from someone with his knowledge in this area would be appreciated.---Ken

Have you done a burn test on the loose threads? -
Fyi...
To answer yes, the fibers will burn. No artificial fibers and no glow under the blacklight trick. Please, someone like Scott Prichett come forward. Also, why can't I post replies yet on the E-Stand if I'm an "Association" member? That means I can't sell either, I think...Comment

Waky, waky, eggs and baky...
Alright, since the response time is a little slow tonight, I'll throw in a few tidbits about this piece. It has slightly off-white threads that have mellowed to time on the obverse and clearly machine embroidered. The backside shows the typical white re-inforcing material, common to even the Grossdeutschland cufftitles --atleast the early Sutterlin type. Now someone with authority, please bless it and answer my other query regarding E-Postings. ---Thanks in advance, KenComment

Hello Ken,
I can't comment on the GD piece, but as to your question about responding to threads on the Estand, I can. Nobody other than the seller may respond directly to Estand threads. If you want to contact the seller, send him or her a PM. As an Association Member, there's no reason you can't sell on the Estand.

Thankyou for that Steve.
Simple question. Simple answer. Fabulous. Thanks. Now, back to the details of this piece. All I need is someone in the know to bless it. --KenComment

Help! I need back-up!
I know this isn't everyone's bag, but there must be someone in the know still who can bless it and help me pull in a nifty fifty on the E-Stand...Comment

Blessed!
F.Y.I., Scott Prichett no longer posts on WAF, but he noticed my thread and liked what he saw and sent me an e-mail saying he liked what he saw. The construction, style and size of the GD measured up to his standard. I will be posting it for sale when I get the chance this weekend. Any further comments also appreciated. ---KenComment
