gwb123 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The shades of green and brown are the tip off. However, as these are no longer on the market, there are folks out there who will buy these for reenacting or just knocking around.

gwb123 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Got excited. My bad. Don't feel bad... they fooled a lot of people when they first came out. There are reproductions on the market now that are a lot closer to the original patterns that are really hard to identify.

I'd enjoy something to wear, and not worry about destroying value. Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroAlpha Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The stamps, buttons and stitching would have fooled me. Sometimes hard to tell from colors on monitor. Link to post Share on other sites
