When WASHED with some modern detergents , insignia will glow under UV as well - just a thought . Insignia looks good ..

UV test is not Gospel on pre 45 items.

Judge it how it is constructed.. embroidery, etc.
It is without a doubt an original!

Uv- tests or "black light tests" are not fool proof because of modern detergents and the fact that UV-glowing synthetic fibers were invented, developed and used during WW2 era.
