Default Opinion please. Beach Signals

I have had this title for a while now. It having come in a group of other related items. I have stared at this piece on and off for over a year. Depending on what day or week it is I get a different feeling. Got it out again "today" and I feel it is a WW2 period piece. I have looked at other period examples posted on line and they "look" tend to have a bit more coarse base material.

Would be interested in other members thoughts.
Thanks in advance
Jack

Hi fine an Dandy a genuine original title.

I have owned several an the letters C & H are quite distinctive allso the way the letters are made up of tiny individual stitches.

As a foot note these are the titles that get dismissed as copies ' all those loose threads on the back ' a good but not foolproof mantra to go on by collectors

Thanks Michael. It was the back that always gave me a bit of a pause. Glad to know it is ok.
