Paolo,

As Chris has pointed out, there are original straps in this style but I have never liked this particular set of shoulderstraps. There are just a couple of issues that I see which give me cause for concern.

Hello Paolo,

I understand what you are saying and sometimes one has to hold a board in their hands to be able to make the final decision.

Based on computer images alone, your boards are a "twilight zone". There are a couple of points that I do like. However that is the challenge these days, the fakers are getting some points right. The reproductions of these tropical boards continue to improve.

Given the money that a matched pair of "one look" tropical panzer boards sell for, one needs to be certain . Sadly these are not "one lookers" and instead raise questions/ doubts.

May be it is worth posting larger, clearer images,

Chris

Chris ,

I do agree with you regarding handle in person and I do agree more about spend your money in the best possible way .

with this sentence : " there will be a discussion because someone will like and someone won't but those boards are genuine " I only meant ... some will like and some won't , period smile wink wasn't going to insist on old owner point .

will take some pictures with better light .

one thing I can tell for sure , those boards are not " these days done " ... simply because are in my collection since 4 years ... minimum are 5 yrs old

I appreciate your help

grazie

Paolo
