The execution of the hand embroidery is excellent.

Who can say with factual certainty, that these course wire bullion examples, with non-standard tape, could not be original examples of pre-RZM manufacture, before cuff band standardization with fine wire was mandated.

Any evidence to the contrary?

cuffband is easy to spot. even the base material is way off ...

Robert, this is not answering my question; if the CT could be pre-RZM as stated in my hypothetical, than obviously there was no set requirement for the base material.

Any answer?

There are many examples of genuine coarse wire early LAH bands. This is not one of them.

Please post pictures if available.

The question here about originality. The cuff title is obvious Pakistani made. Doesn't matter embroidery on it.

[Gary Symonds]

Let’s see original examples with tubular wire.

That cuff title is crap. Even if you post a 100 original examples it will still be crap. J

Hi,

last page of the LSSAH article.

Below, the fake presented in this topic and below it a said original from the Delich collection (from the Williamson book).
It is obvious that the original was badly copied for the fake, i even suspect that the worker didn't understand the sütterlin font/language that he was embroidering...

See You

Ulrics Vol2 cuffband books shows clear the correct pattern (p-58) with its correct base correct material. I just wonder how some do their homework and rather bash around online ...
