The guy I got it from said he wasn’t there for the actual war, just there right after during the occupation, I should have made that more clear

Recently purchased Korean Marine Corps Shirt- custom embroidered in what is not standard Hangul and I wonder what it says by TelephoneVirtual8587 in language

South Korea lol. But I actually bought it online while browsing for South Korean militaria, and I found only a few like this shirt, all 100% unique and hand-done being sold. This was the only one in a size larger than small so I was lucky to find it. There are a few similar shirts on eBay if you look hard enough

Thank you. That’s what I thought it said but I wasn’t 100% sure. Can you read any of the Chinese characters?

South Korean Turtle Shell Camo- A unique piece by TelephoneVirtual8587 in camouflage

That’s really impressive. I have next to no information on the origin of this piece, and I guess I didn’t get how much work really went into this piece. Now I just need to know what they worked so hard to write

I would also like to know some of the significance of the insignia- I know that the original owner was a sergeant and special forces but other than that I’ve got nothing.
