Just reread.

Mine is very similar to Marinus's.

similar, but no cigar. but you must make up your own mind. you can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead.

Alternatively, rather than being so cryptic, you could just point out why you believe that this title is not genuine.....,just a thought.....

Hi Chris,

For a better comparison, here are links to hi-res pics of the title from my post #15.

Bought this one more than 30 years ago if my memory serves me well.

as per my original quote " as can be discerned the differences are material, colour, variations in lettering."

major inconsistencies in the lettering.

rear leg of "R" is vertical instead of curved, mis-shaped "C", larger "NNAI", the smaller "SS's", right leg of "A", width of "N" legs, the last "C".

given the thought gone into the production of the item why wasn't the lettering reproduced as per original form ? therein lies the rub.

one could argue a " variation ". however I would put my faith in the other examples illustrated in the post.

Hi Chris,

Found another nice example on the web.

Sorry all for my late reply, I can see both sides, but looking at the C and S's I can see where people are coming from.
A variant? Who knows, it'll have to go in the ?? File for now.
A hopeful beggining to the thread, thank you Paul, but doubt has crept in, all constructive though.
Take care all
Chris

from the same stable as the "RECONNAISSANCE", albeit better letter characteristics
