The letter "O" is a "tell" but it will fool many. The holes in the "R & P" also are just abit off, & the triangles in the "A's". Have not been able to locate a reverse photo of the Chinese version so if anyone comes across one please post it up here.
Or for that matter any other variations of the AKCT good or bad...Last edited by Tim O'Keefe; 05-10-2014, 03:23 AM.

Here are a couple of AKCT's. Both early olive one's side by side for comparison. Interestingly the olive ct i posted earlier in post #1 (its the middle one). The 2nd version has been attached to a tunic at some point and it has some wear to the silver edge especially on the underside where you would expect it to be if worn on a tunic for some time. Also has that smell collectors love denoting its been around for a long while unlike the almost mint version (slight nik) that has no smell.

Matt told me he saw few like these over the years, I remember I saw a pair, but my memory doesn't is of help so it is possible I'm mistaken. To be sure I've looked for another made in this way but I never found it.
I have my idea. What do you think guys?
these are still my favorite variation of this cuff title. There is just something about them that I really like. I have had probably 4 of them over the years and are a harder variant to find. Matt

Originally posted by Beattie-B View PostIt's often overlooked but many fakes can be spotted by looking at the backside and analyzing the "RP" in "Korps". There should be a sizeable difference in the size of the squares inside the letters, often the "R" has a more rectangular square inlay while the "P" has a more squared inlay.
