Kovels is usually off. If it's a nice dark green or teal it may go for that but most are still just aqua and worth about $20±. A different shade of aqua doesn't really count. I've seen labelled not get $50. There were nice light teals that still aren't worth what Kovels report and I don't think there is anything resembling an emerald or forrest green that would justify over $300 bucks. To answer the first part though, no repros I've heard of.

The only repos I know of have the woman standing and are light blue and quart size but Eric is right about Kovel's. They kinda shoot high.

There is an amber repo made in Italy back in late 1960's or early 70's...methinks a dark green was also made...
Seams give them away: early Owens machine seams..."extra seam" around the neck below the mouth...and side and top of mouth seams don't line up...are offset 90 degrees...
