My little Teddybear....with SS Totenkopf Cuffband

[Robin Lumsden]

If I was you Torsten, I'd leave the cuff title in place until others (Bob Hritz, Grant Bias, etc.) have had the chance to comment.

I might be wrong!

i would't keep it togehter but it looks too me like a originel(i talk about the cuff) but when the deadshead guru said he have some doubt's i would't take his opinion more serious.
then is now the question robin why do you think that this cuff is not good ?

regards johan

Hi Johann, thank you for your comment... I also do hope that there will be more comments coming forward... what do you think? Should I take the cuffband off the bear or not? Tot ziens en bedankt, Torsten.

Please see post #14.

The embroidery in my opinion is not what it should be.

It is not one I would want in my own collection.

Just my opinion.

I also do not like the cufftitle due to it's bad embroidery. I have seen several "ugly" hand embroidered skull titles that were period and good but this one is past that. I also do not like the black thread highlights to the skull details. Originals do not have that, it is embroidered to show the crainial seperations.

I just can say very poor Teddy bear with all this junk on him !

[torstenbel]

Dear Greg and Robin, thank you for your reasoned comments ... so, it looks like I should definitely remove the cuffband from the bear and concentrate on the Teddy? Cheers, Torsten.

Cuff band is for sure a reproduction!

There is a great variety in hand embroidered skull cuff titlkes. However, I have never seen an original that had black highlight thread anywhere but on the teeth.

I would not want this title in my collection.

Thank you very much for all your comments... of course I am not happy with the cuffband being repro, but at least I know now ...thanks. I will remove the band from the Teddybear. Is there any point in posting pics of the back of the band here once I have taken it off or is there no point? Cheers, Torsten.
