Tslagi 163: Another Fake Resurfaces
Posted in 
A couple of months ago, I wrote about a patch from this lodge that I dubbed, with tongue firmly implanted in my cheek, the “One True Fake“. In that post I told the tale of what I have listed on my site as the Tslagi 163 ZS1? and also made reference to a second private issue, believed to be unique I will tentatively label this the ZS2? since, even though this was likely made before the “ZS1?”, it was the second of the fakes to see the light of day.
The patch labelled ZS2?, like the ZS1?, was created by a collector in my lodge. He had put together a display of Tslagi issues and was lacking a YS1 but was able to find a company that would produce a computer designed flap with a similar design. It was believed only one of these was made. The patch I previously described as the ZS1? came about at the same time. It now seems that more than one of the computer designed copy of the YS1 were created.
