The detail doesn't match pictures I have of authentic Splendeurs de Maharajas scarves, which have the full name on the scarf. So, I'm thinking no.

Thanks for this! This is why I posted it here. I've seen some iterations online and in the forums without the Splendeurs and a few with! So confusing!

Sigh I wish I could turn back time and just go buy it from the store directly!
 
Thank you sdsurfchick for your quick answer! I wasn't quick enough this time either! The same happened again! This scarf has been on the *bay for some time and was now reposted there since some days. It wasn't until you answered my request that it was sold. It seems as if people go right to our authentication threads to get the right thing. I don't believe in coincidence here.

Enjoying my warm summer, thank you, and I hope you have a nice summer too! Sooner than we think scarf-wearing-times are coming!

@Holsby I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment and it's why I don't like to post on here when I find something I like. It's a shame that people lurk on here to snatch up other people's finds. It's very generous that the authenticators are willing to help others but I wish it could be done without the broadcast.
 
I have actually continued to think about this. If there are other experts out there who have thoughts on this one, please chime in.

My Splendeurs is the other version: in the corners are people riding elephants rather than the closeup of the turbaned gentlemen. Mine has the title. I remember once having a F/B messenger conversation with Geoff about these versions, but now I can't find that.
 
Am requesting a little advice from our wonderful authenticators.
As only current listings are authenticated here , which is very understandable, (the whole point is to prevent someone buying a fake) , I am hoping to have reccommended to me another Authentication service for scarves that the authenticators find very trustworthy , for a vintage Hermes found I while thrifting. I have had one say yes and another wonderful Tpf say no and as I want to use up my fake scarves to make a fake dress , I want to be sure that Im not cutting up the real thing.
Appologies if this has been asked before.
Thank you.
 
Thanks @momasaurus. And next time you talk to Geoff, tell him I said hello!
