OK, we are talking about uniforms...:rolleyes:

Now, back on topic, I have seen actual issue and allegedly korean war era uniforms, but no one over the rank of Jr. lieutenant (those who have their collar tabs still on place). Quality, as usual, is very poor.

Here´s a nice pic of a senior officer I found in wikipedia the other day.
It´s quite large so you can see the uniform in detail.

BTW I wonder, have you ever handled a north korean uniform?
I have only a collar tabs/shoulderboards set and it matches the low quality of the insignia seen in this pic, but still there is 'something' about those uniforms on ebay that show up that make me stay away from them.
The ribbon bar of this Lt. col matches the ones sold by the chinese dealers from time to time on ebay. At least I don´t have too many doubts about their provenance now.
