I've been looking at a lot of original cuff titles on here, and it's hard for me to tell if the originals are 6 or 7 strand borders. which is it supposed to be?

Some of the early cuff titles had six strands. Use the Search feature to study these.

Enlisted early TK titles are exists just in a couple of hands, early Oberbayern, Elbe, Sachsen, Ostfriesland etc is allways in yellowish color due of a kind of the thread used which is became darker with ages.
Flatwire and bullion is more easier to find, but they are also in the sort of the rare cufftitles if we will compare with a regimental war time period titles as for example Westland
