I saw something interesting on a bevo TK title posted on another forum, if someone here has an original, I'd like to see a closeup of the reverse "checkerboard" pattern. Thanks!

Hello Gary,
Aside from checking out the rows of small dots that make up the borders on the reverse, another thing I thought was true was that the number of squares in a row from top to bottom is odd (the color of the top and bottom square will be the same). On the line of reproductions that most of us are familiar with, the number of squares is even (top and bottom squares are different colors).
The TK title that was posted had the normal line of small dots making up the border, but the number of squares was even. I found the attached picture on an earlier thread - it shows a Das Reich as well - both of them have even numbers of squares. There goes my even/odd theory!
Anyway, I checked the couple that I have, and also reference books and postings on the forums:
The following all had 25 squares:
Adolf Hitler
Der Führer
Reichschule-SS
Theodor Eicke
Götz von Berlichingen
SS-Polizei-Division
Freiw. Legion Flandern
Westland
Florian Geyer
Reinhard Heydrich
General Seyffardt
Hohenstaufen (separate NS)
Horst Wessel
Landstorm Nederland
Nederland
Nordland
Reichsführer-SS (round umlauts)
SS-Kriegsberichter
Ostturkischer Waffen Verband der SS
Wallonien
These 2 had 23:
Frundsberg
Reichsführer-SS (square umlauts)
And these had 24:
Das Reich
Totenkopf
Anyway, file all of the above under “useless information”, at least until the fakers come up with a way to replicate that line of dots!
Regards,
Fred
