Re: LAH Cypher
The LAH cypher stands a chance of being original, but the rank pip is definately post-war. This casts doubt on the era when the insignia was applied to the shoulder board.

Re: LAH Cypher
Hi Bob,
Whats the issue with the rank pip? Apart from looking minty fresh I wouldn't notice any problems with it but rank pips aren't my thing. I only have 2 relic examples in my collection.

Hi Glenn, it is the round brass wire prongs which are the giveaway on the rank pip.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: LAH Cypher
Thanks all for time and comments so far.
Primary concern was the cypher, think the board is ok
And there is a minimal amount of cypher to board staining from what I
Can make out under closer inspection.
The prongs on the pip are flat rather than rounded .
Also not sure if it Should be but the pip is RZM marked and maker
Stamped M1/16 .
Can get closer pictures if it helps?
Let me know what you guys think?
Thank you.

Re: LAH Cypher
Hi Mat, thanks for the update. A pic would be good as they did look like round pins to me.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: LAH Cypher
Hi Ade,
Will Try and get some close ones and upload them.
Were all pips stamped out of interest?
Did you have any thoughts on the LAH cypher or board
In the mean time?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: LAH Cypher
Hi Matt, I don't really feel qualified to pass judgment on the cypher. And I have almost given up on boards without having them in hand as they have gotten so good....
Cheers, Ade.
