*****How do we know these are genuine? I always ask this question when looking to purchase items such as these.....there are a few ways to tell- the best known way is to check the thread to see if it shows up under black-light "UV"- if it does- it is most likely fake!- thread produced in WWII was not the modern synthetic type bleach/dye of modern times, and does not 'glow'. Also, if you look at the edges of the stitching, you will notice a different, smooth contour of old patches compared to the modern over-sewn edging of modern.****
