M45 Late Artillery Boards

[Paul R.]

I was offered these artillery boards. I think these are late M45 of some other ones that I have seen. Any opinions on these please.

hi Paul is the backing material stiched to the back of the board i dont see a stich line running the lenght of the material on yours? mine are originals no question about it

Hi Lenny. The hbt material is stitched down on the grey wool. When the hbt material hits the red piping there is a stitch running over the hbt. From the red piping to the keyhole there is no stitching on the hbt in that area.

Hello
Nothing wrong with the 2nd pair , the first is quite unusual ,but original IMO since I have the same one ( INF NCO 116 Reg) .

I see no problem with either pair. IMO this simplified type was introduced earlier than 1945 so I'm not sure why they are called M45?

Agree, both originals in my opinion.
