LAH cyphers and Infantry boards

[SgtB]

Paul compared to originals I have seen, the embroidery is very flimsy "loose". I would be uncomfortable with it. J

Me too. I've had good sets and the embroidery was much thicker and more uniform. That's not to say these can't be good, but they are extremely easy to reproduce for a quick buck and fakes abound.

You misunderstood me. I'm not saying letter density is the defining factor as to good or bad - I am saying the opposite.

I am saying that if the size, materials, and style of the letters match known originals (like the one that started the thread when compared favorably to mine), then less-dense letters shouldn't be enough to condemn it.

These LAH (and other) slip-ons differ more than they look the same. If you have ever tried to match a single, then you know how much these differ - very few are identical matches. The side by side of mine and the posted examples show two slides that match in terms of letter size, style, and formation - it is the embroidery thickness that seems to be the sticking point.

I didn't misunderstand you . I agree with your theory ....
I said the design of nr 3 is for me not a good sign .
the poor density alone is not negativ .

I don't like #3 either. And the first thing I noticed is that the L is behind the H. Although I have no idea if that is a fool-proof "tell" or not.
