Early grey LAH strap

Thanks Markus

I was just wondering how a new collector or even an old collector who wants to collect LAH boards is supposed to go about doing that. Where can they get some ironclad knowledge to even begin the collecting journey. We have been told on this thread that don't believe what you see in the books. We have been told that don't believe the comments on the forum. Apparently only a few old time collectors know what is right vs. wrong, which would be great if they actually posted examples so the lesser knowledge people could have something to compare to.
To me, threads like this only prove that cloth collecting in these specialized areas is a waste of time and money.

Where you can read don´t believe in books? I wrote don´t believe in EVERY book! This is right and nothing new at all.
Knowledge comes from own interest.

That's the spirit! Thanks for sharing Steve!

Love the one with the crank embroidery ! (Kurbelstickerei)

Incredible hoy many different styles and boards the LAH had generated in its 12 years of existence.

Thanks for posting those Steve! Can everyone agree that these two from Steve are original?

The one on the right ? No

What about these then?

I saved the images as that is how I learn outside of hitting shows when possible and rarely ever encountering good early LAH boards, speaking with others, references, and cataloging as much as possible. A folder for good examples to reference and a folder for fakes helps.

Early boards I think are really beautiful in their overall gaudiness.

Not originales IMO.

These started appearing at least more than 10 years ago.

What a pity for someone. Those were sold by Military Antiques of Stockholm for 3,995.00€ as originals.

How about these then gents? Thin embroidery, missing bar tack on buttonhole. I say no, but I've not handled enough. They aren't easily encountered.

Lloyd,
Were these the same boards on PvL's site? I think they are. I saw them and was like Wow, never saw stitching so thick on these LAH boards. Went back to save them for files and they were already taken down. They sold for a high price.
