Paratrooper vests

Hi All,
Paratrooper vests at Sportman's Guide for under $25.00. What are the chances these are original?

There is a thread here somewhere about copies and how to distinguish them from originals.

Only when I Larf

looking @ the pic below I think you have to give SG/Miltec/Sturm points for trying.....

actually tho, I did get a real NVA kampfeweste from SG a few years back...

( it bears no resemblance to the item pictured )

SG actually offered these about two years ago, i bought a pair of them, back then they were still 25 dollars i believe and from what i could tell, they were real. Maybe there are more of these vests floating around then we believe.
