Madrid doesn't have more than one pattern. It's all the basic pattern. Reproduction is the same pattern in general but has a few minor changes. Parts of the pattern are wider on the reproduction than on the original. More than likely if you have piece you have a reproduction piece as the 'real' Madrid from the 20s is VERY rare. Madrid does come in several colors. Original colors were blue, pink, green and amber. The teal-blue is from the 70-80s and is a reproduction.
