Amazing as usual Kurt! Really surprised how many made it back to the states. Fantastic!   Kurt

remarkable collection.

Hi, you’re very kind in your words, but I wouldn’t call myself an expert.   I’m not aware of one piece Mitchell covers ever being made. That said, there’s a lot of things I don’t know.   Let’s see if anyone else can add any more to this conversation? They certainly are others here with far more expertise than myself.      

Thanks — you clearly know what you're talking about! You don't just copy text things from somewhere else without knowing if they're actually true. Not do you offer irrelevant personal speculations or start off with unnecessary insults. Excellent!!! That’s how things should be around here!!! As an expert worthy of praise, could you please also explain something regarding my second question: Are there any genuine one-piece versions that are printed on both sides?

Pretty easy to see on my desktop screen.  Look carefully along the right edge, the stitched seam is visible as a line, and if you look carefully you can see that the camo pattern changes where the two halves come together.  (The way it’s laid flat mostly hides this, but look carefully)

Thanks. Only recently discovered Don Ross' memoirs which exactly matched my stepfather father's memories

Naboo,  And you received answers and opinions galore yet you keep going. Clearly you disagree (read: politely argue) with the advice given and want to convince members of a different value by now adding new items and "discoveries" along the way. You respond to about any post with, "I don't think you understand..." or "You misunderstand..." Then talk about how incredibly unique and rare your items are. This group is not rare in the context of this forum. We see them all the time. It can become a bit insulting when less experienced members can't even take "yes" for an answer because every comment points to sales potential. Such threads go sour and get closed. Respectfully, if you truly want to discuss the discoveries you are making about the man's record (as you repeatedly claim is your ultimate goal) - great! Then post it in the appropriate forum rather than ringing the "What's it Worth" bell repeatedly. Your motives are clear and you are trying way too hard. Your attempt to sell for $10K gave you away early on. It's already a bit controversial jumping into a post from a brand new member with no other posts as often they just want to "use" member knowledge for their personal gain. This level of debate over a nice grouping, but one of which members have hundreds of, appears to be as much a form of seeking attention as it is to make a big profit. We fell into it as we love this stuff. I think we can smell a like soul and we can smell rhetoric. This has left a bad taste in my mouth and it's always sad when a vet's legacy is moved to the background while a caretaker steps up to "swing for the fence". If anyone had been interested in that grouping, if it were offered at a sane price, your pitch "style" is losing such interest quite quickly.  I, too, am out.  Dave    

Very interesting item 

OK, could you please explain in more detail what is visible on the right side of the first picture—specifically, that two different fabrics have been sewn together? As a layperson, all I can see at the seams are frayed fabric edges, so I can't tell whether it's one piece or two.

"I haven't researched it any further than that. Is a Mitchell Cover automatically a Reproduction if it isn't sewn together from two Pieces of fabric, or were there also original One-Piece Versions?"     You can clearly see the seam where the two halves are sewn together on the right side of the First picture.  I don't see any indications of that cover being a reproduction.
