FAKE US Vietnam Navy Seal Party Suit Patched out UDT Special Forces Seal Team One

Good morning all.  Realize this item isn't in our collecting window for this forum but I want to bring this fake/doctored item to the attention of the community. I sold this item at SOS 2020.  It is an 1980s era party suit that belonged to an Army Officer stationed in Korea.  All off the patches that "contradict" this being a SEAL party suit have been removed.  It also originally had a heavy brass belt buckle that has been separated from the party suit.

Just plain wow is all I can say. Nice if you knew the guy selling it was the guy who bought it from you. As a collector it just kills me to see something like this. Thanks for sharing. Clete

I agree Clete. At this time I do not know if the eBay seller was my customer at SOS. If information presents itself that this is the case I will let the community know. What I don't want to do is slander a seller who may be a victim himself. That is why I tried to simply present the facts: When I sold it the item looked like this. Now it looks like that. As in most things time will tell one way or the other.
