Current best splinter cover

Post by PaulW »

Hi, I've been comparing pictures of originals to copies that I can see for sale. It seems like Panther Store's is the most accurate currently available (don't think SMW do them presently?)

Is that the general opinion?

Certainly looks that way, although the foliage loops are too long for some peoples liking. I have one and it is of good quality as you would expect from Panther store.

Panther-store. The pattern varies in originals, but Panther has good fabric and good print. Cheap too, I would only recommend covers made from original material over panther reproductions.

"I would only recommend covers made from original material over panther reproductions" Thanks Sheikh and Olly!

Richard Underwood is currently selling original Splinter (and Sumphtarn) covers. Has anyone seen the cut/ design of these in hand - are they as authentic as the Panther helmet covers??

**Edited as forgot to add "original" Splinter (and Sumphtarn) covers - just wondered if anyone has held his (original material) covers in hand?
