Cloth 1939 EKIs.

I see these periodically, and they sell for exorbitant prices.  Are they genuine?  These images are from around the internet, and the third image shows one under "blacklight" [the "since-it-doesn't-glow-it's-authentic" test].

Hard to say, but they were worn in period. I have a photo of a Luftwaffe ace wearing one, I'll have to look for it.

I was thinking...  I've not seen any photographic evidence of these in wear, but there may very well be pictures out there somewhere...
