While no expert, I am not thrilled by it. The messy embroidery on the reverse is typical of fakes.

Thanks CB

I'm not sure this one fits into the "Paki" style embroidered modern era, as the thread is thin and not the usual thick spaghetti style and the poor quality and felt that one would expect to see from Paki made repro.

The complexity and detail of the embroidered design might be of occupation era?

Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

cheers

Phill

Looks like a repro I gather so will put in the "learned lesson" file.

cheers
