You will note that an "A" was created by using a pen to color in the top the "H". There may be some that were printed correctly but I have never seen one. Herman John,

Actually, there are several of these slides. They have different poses for the Indian. Anyone could purchase the slides but they were not available at the conclave. You put in your order at the conclave and they were shipped to you. Herman John,

I and Paul Collett are calling this ZJ1. The blue background is darker than the original. The fake has a cloth back and the original has a plastic back. The details in the arrowhead and fdl in the fake are lacking. The length of the arrowhead in the fake is 31mm vs. 28mm in the original. The eyes in the native american are missing the white. The grass is darker in the fake. I can go on but the fake is no where close to the original. Beware these fakes come from Germany. John will have the scan up shortly.

I have a similar style neckerchief slide that was used at the former Camp Eatonbrook of the old Madison County Council in central NY (it also dates to the early 1960's). I had long believed the item was handcrafted locally but given the example you share, manufacture on a larger scale was likely (your example is the only other slide like this I've ever seen). I will try to get a scan of the Camp Eatonbrook slide to you for comparison (if interested). My best- -Ray Gould Hi John-
