Gents,
I have just received a pickel that I bought from ULAN9. the helmet is a poor grade m1895, with badly crazed surface. I really just bought it for the cover. Yes, yes, I know that ULAN9 is getting a bad reputation.

Anyway, as soon as it arrived I gave it the blacklight test - the cover itself did not react but the red felt numbers lit up brightly. Before I declare the numbers to be a fake item, I ask that somebody else runs a black light over their red felt numbers and tell me if they glow or not.
thanks guys,
Mike
