    $Classifieds Found a cool South African Koevoet uniform on ebay

    I was just cruising ebay and I found this. Anyone think it's legit?

    The microsized buttons look very similar to ones I had on an African camouflage uniform set years ago, however my pattern was different and I cannot verify anything beyond that.

    Thanks. As far as I can tell it looks real to me. Especially the tags. I'm really wanting to bid on it but I don't have the money right now.

    Trying to contact a friend who is a Koevoet vet. If I can track him down I'll ask if the uni looks familiar.
