Won this at auction and recieved today. Not happy with back appearance looks like reproduction. Doesn’t glow at all. More familiar with decal version and know there are reproductions in cloth that are slightly different and modern. Is this a period example? -

The new pics are better, work on focused photo's please. Normally when guys post a helmet they show the bails and straps along with the heat treat stamp. Also that hole in the helmet, what does that look like from the inside. The shade of the green paint is better, the gloss paint can be explained now. The ware on the paint is more than I would expect for a post war paint. Its been tossed around quite a bit and the patina of the bare metal indicates that was done in the past. I noticed discoloration in the OD paint where unit red paint flaked. May I see a really good photo of that? -

Here is an ID’d one I just picked up on a coat, the scroll portion is thinner. -

Looks like a post Korea shop piece, likely Japanese made but not Korean War era as it should be. -

Joe, that´s another fantastic figure, thanks very much for sharing! Your paintwork is simply awesome. Would love to see a close-up of the soldier´s face. -

Were you able to find any info on the Unit 70? I also have one of those patches and no one seems to know what it was/ had no recollection of a Unit 70 -

My concerns also come from the cloth edges of the patch and the “wavy” features of the UNPFK letters. But then I look again and it seems ok to me! If a repro, I think it’s a pretty good one. -

The reason I’m skeptical is due to the glow on the back and sides, as seen below, when placed under a UV light. But at the same time, I know the glow isn’t necessarily conclusive. I’ve had patches before that were original but glowed.
