I recently acquired a Pwamas Chapter round from Shinecock Lodge, what I thought would be a duplicate of the R1. When I checked it with the R1 in my collcetion I noticed several differences. In colors, the new variation has a darker blue background and dark yellow border when comared to the old R1. The most visible difference though is that the ‘new’ variety has a “thick” spearshaft.
The “new” variety is pictured on top, the “old” version (which matches the image on oaimages) is underneath.
Blue Book stats:
R1b DYL R BLU BLK – twill; 102mm TR wide spear shaft 2mm wide at butt end horizontal stitched ground.
R1a YEL R LBL BLK – twill; 102mm add TR spear shaft 1mm wide at butt end vertical stiched ground
