Yeah there are slight differences in colors etc, dark green instead of black, Slightly different patterns, likely due to manufacturers. Why do you not think there are reproductions out of the east bloc.
When I was in Kiev you had to watch for the repros of everything you can think of. And that was told to me by native Ukrainians. When we were in shops, my friend would show me the stuff, and if you know what to look for it is obvious. And I'll bet half the designer stores there sell counterfeit goods. Let alone non designer shops.
I'm not surprised or anything, they have a saying there.... "That is Ukraine" So I was kind of expecting it. Just annoyed, and have to deal with it. And I will just have to send my friend on a hunt for the real stuff.

EDIT: Things were resolved with Vlad at sovietarmystuff.com. I recieved a partial refund due to the error in product. Kudos to sovietarmystuff.com for their great customer service. Communication was great and resolution was quick. Thanks again Vlad.
