Hi,
This has been offered to my and I'm always skeptical of SS items. Opinions appreciated. Thanks

I'm certainly no expert but I made some comparison photos , the one on the bottom is deemed to be a original. They look very similar to me. The one in the top photo is shown at a curved angle thus distorting the lettering a bit.

IMO is a nice cufftitle, the embroidery is allways different, due of the hand embroidery, you'll never find exact the same embroidery, even made by one hand.

I agree with the above statement. Looks very nice to me with the correct RZM tag.

I agree... Nice original cuff title

This Officers' hand embroidered cuffband appears to be identical (less the protective gauze) to the two currently listed on the Estand.
From my own limited experience, the original hand embroidered bands I owned had a more tarnished (silver?) 7 strand border and they were embroidered on a different style and weight of band material.......so I can't really offer any real opinion as to whether this band is original or not, except that it looks very nice.
Cheers,

Thanks guys, but unfortunately the cuff title was stolen before I could buy it Saturday morning. The item was stolen between 8AM and 9:45 AM on June 19TH at the,
Pennsylvania Gun Collectors Association Gun show at the Westmoreland County Fairgrounds. If anyone comes across it please contact me..thanks

Anyone notice that the two cuff titles are only 6 digits apart on the RZM tag (3 to 9) and apparently by the same maker? They are practically twins.

Sorry about the loss.
