Hi guys, this is a recent purchase from ebay. I think I got burned. The medic markings are worn more than the lid chinstraps look phony ( 10 row weave?) Can you guys spot any red flags? These pics are from ebay, I will post some close ups in the days to follow. Also none of the threadon the A yokes or the white thread inside the chinstraps glow.
