Stumbled across these Sturmmann chevrons on Bill’s site. They look similar to other rank insignias I have seen but how do I distinguish between these & fakes considering how good fakes are these days? Browsing SOF, Richard Underwood Militaria, & Reddick Militaria I see reproductions especially for rank insignia, shoulder boards, & collar tabs are virtually indistinguishable from originals these days.
