So these sh*tty looking vests have been appearing at least on the Dutch market for years now, and everyone offering them either actually think they are selling an actual original issue item,
or are pretending to so they don't lose their investment.
They have the basic shape of some hunter vests but with Doron plates inside, or sometimes fake plates that I believe might even be asbestos!
Looking at the tag it already seems laughably fake, size EL??? FSN and contract from the 3/4 collar body armor vest to make it seem more legit, USA on the tag which was never done, bullet free is at least in some
languages the direct translation of their word for bulletproof, for example in Dutch we say kogelvrij, the literal translation of vrij is free, there's bbound to be more languages that have this.
Side adjustments made to look like the ones on 3/4 collar vests but with randomly colored strings, weak inner lining that looks like it comes from some old winterjacket liners or a sleepingbag liner, scovill
zippers, maybe are these made from random surplus US stuff?
Another fun fact, these also appear in Woodland camo while still having the FSN and contractcodes for the 60's vests on the tags since the tags are just the same as on the OD vests.
I do know 1 shop that knows they are fake since they are normally pretty expensive with everything related to armor but price these at just €15, but I'm trying to find out more about these things so colectors here
can be better educated about these fakes.
