Here is stitching on two different original examples and the shield in question. FWIW, its all good under black-light. You still think its a no-go NLF? Others? Honestly, these shields were manufactued for years, so without doubt there are variations. It is sewn on, by single stitches on the corners and the larger stitches on the egdges. Someone did take the time to do it nicely, but the whole uniform is nice. Uniform is undoubtedly original, and it has a matching cloth tie with matching issue tag. My gut tells me, after looking as so many different examples that it is all good. I'm in contact with the dealer, I've already paid for it, but he doesn't want me to buy if I have any questions at all and will refund my money completely. He was stationed in Japan for 12 years and buys from Japanese dealers and sometimes familys. This is NOT cupman3. Has several thousand transactions and not a single negative. You still feel bad about it NLF? Others? Thank you...

I know you guys have a lot more experience than I do, but over the past 24 hours, I've gone over that image of the shield and others with a fine tooth comb comparing them. I've seen no examples of reproduction insignia of this style to compare to, but if this is a reproduction, someone is taking the time to make a cheap item very very real. I give it a thumbs up, but I sure respect ya'lls experience though. What to do...what to do.....
