Midwestern85 Posted January 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2021 I was going to resurrect an old thread ( https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3812-what-to-watch-for-examples-of-fakereproduction-patches/page/5/ ) since there is a reproduction FMF-PAC shown, but maybe it's better to start anew. I bought four FMF-PAC's off of EBay. I received them today and I have two that fluoresce. In my opinion the back threads do not look synthetic on any of these (please advise if you believe otherwise). I've burn tested a few return threads from all four; all pass. I see no mesh stabilizer that I have so often seen with reproduction fully-embroidered patches. The fluorescing offenders are the Amtracs and the DUKW with a name on the back.

Wake1941 Posted January 12, 2021 Share #5 Posted January 12, 2021 All of them look period to me, the 2nd and 3rd probably glow slightly from being laundered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
