This very nearly identical to the one I have, which I think is an original ww2 issue. The only possible difference I might be able to see is on the reverse, the threads of the border do not seem as dense as on my example, though that might be the picture. I'm not sure if this helps. -
It´s a fake one. Look at the "o".Comment

Agree its another bad one, tartan weave on reverse etcComment

Thanks for the tips on what to look for. I've looked at mine with freash eyes and can see that the middle of the O is elongated on an original and also the shape of the middle of the R & P is also a different size/shape, whereas on the posted example they look to be the same shape.
Am I write? or are there other things to look out for?
ThanksComment

Hi JerryOriginally posted by jerry bond View Post
Here is a thread that covers the AKCT pretty well. The R & P hole size is not always a conclusive way to tell. If the reverse has a diamond shaped O, thats bad as mentioned. But the weave on the reverse is the best way to tell...on fakes its much more tartan in appearance than originals.

& the reverseComment

Im all the way with Tim on this one. The first one is bad, the weave is odd on the back where the letters are and the diamond shape of the O are the killers. The second cuff is a sweetie! Matt
