early LAH boards

[D Davies]

I only aquired these recently with a view to trading them for something to fit my new collection.
But before any of that i'm posting them for opinions.After searching the forum i could only find a few similar examples.They don't seem to be a matched set but apear to have been worn as a set with identical patina.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers
Dave.

the emroidery for example
you can compare with Bob Hritz's original strap below

[D Davies]

Thanks for your opinion Disco.Any other opinions are most welcome.
I did find this thread,All the examples have differences when compared to Bob's.

I would like to see more opinions too ....

These stand a very good chance of being original, and have some features I look for in good ones.

I would not be in a hurry to return them.

i am not sure why pictures have got resized (reduced) yesterday (noticed just now) so i repost them (left-hand is yours). Everything is possible and they might be perfectly original but sloppy emroidery is exactly what one does not want to see in LAH cyphers

I guess they are good.
I have only a rounded pair to compare the LAH

Hi Disco
I have just been looking through my copy of the Beaver & Bando insignia book.On page 13 There is a board with a cypher cut from another board and sewn to it which is identical and just as sloppy as this one of mine.
Thanks for posting yours Madandi there very nice indeed there isn't many around to compare with.
Thanks Robert they won't be going back i will probably put them up for trade,as i'm trying to build up a cut off collection.
Thanks again
Cheers
Dave.

Hi,

i think they are ok. Perhaps made in 1939/1940.
