The LS deck is out of print as far as I know. Which is why I think I have a fighting chance of selling it and getting the Il M. deck instead.

If it is the Il M. deck you want then Alida stock it.

Both are reproductions of the same images.

I have the one with what looks like the Chariot

pasted on the front. Non laminated. Had a red wax seal on front. There's the letters N and then 327 written in pen on the card under the lwb. Says 1994 on the card, but the lwb says 1986. the pasted on greenish label says "Etruria" 1725, ed. "il Meneghello" Milano. The cards are stunning. The box is lovely as it feels crafted, not mass produced . Anyone have this deck?

I just realized that my Minchiate is the Etruria kind... never knew there are two types!

i just got the minchiate etruria deck by meneghello, the front card says its a 1994 limited edition of 2000 and it is coated like others on this thread have noted, and it is quite disappointing. all my other meneghello decks are uncoated and feel special and are very beautiful both to look at and to hold. this one has a shine to it and looks "printed", it's missing that magic the other menghello decks have where you feel like you're holding a museum artifact. i really like the imagery of this beautiful deck so i hope to get over the initial disappointment

ok it's only been a day since i got it but im already over the disappointment lol.. the imagery is just so beautiful, i love this deck. very refined and kind of innocent looking as well.. i also got the minchiate fiorentine, the other minchiate deck by il meneghello, still waiting for it in the mail - can't wait to see it! I'm pretty sure that one will be uncoated and from what i saw online has such a different vibe, simpler style and a bit more character.

Mine is exactly like yours. These two Minchiate decks are so confusing....
Somewhere in there it also says "Fiorentine Etruria" ....... But judging from this site and these pages, I have the Etruria:
