Late War Schlueter with MP Liner

[Masonk]

Hi All,

Thought I'd share my latest find. Picked this up at a local Army/Navy shop.

Shell is a late war Schlueter; heat stamp 512A. It has OD7 sewn chinstraps and thrown in was a nice 3/4" net.

The MP liner is a WWII era MSA liner with 1950's 1st Army and 716th Military Police Battalion decals. MP marking is hand painted on.

The set is most certainly a put together, but I can live with that. Price was fair as well, which is always a plus.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Eric,very nice indeed, I am very keen on the general wear and tear which has a nice honest look to it, even though as you stated it is a put together I think it look's fantastic. The net really finishes it off well, and is very displayable. Your excellent close up photo's are brilliant as they show the details very nicely too.Regards Opex.
