I'll take a stab at it. The piping looks correct, although there is a strange topstitch - almost a zigzag - on the first arty set that it puzzling. The tress is OK, as are the buttonholes and other construction features. The tongue material is not typical, but I've seen this type of material on other uniform items.

My biggest problem is the underside stitching where two pieces are put together - this feature is very common on the new wave of repros and wasn't all that common on boards you'd see thirty years ago. That all three sets have this same feature is odd, unless they all left the factory together and stayed together all these years (which is unlikely since they are all different specialities).

Bottomline: Taken on their own merits, I like the boards.

boards

Hi Sergey,
I am sure that the red piping boards are original. 15 years ago was found a lot of these boards with the same features. All were genuine and came from Czech republic.
The key is in the zig-zag stitch ans how and where it was sewn.

I also like the others but I can not be 100% sure without having them in hand.
Regards
Pierre

Personally I dont like any of the above showed boards. But its my opinion and feeling. I belive them to be modern manufactured from original cloth and piping.

guys what do you think about cav. shoulder boards

[RobertE]

The Cav boards look OK, other than the reservations about the multi-piece backs. Do you own these boards, Sergey?
