    Hi NCA but that decal looks like a transfer?or is it my eyes,never known ww2 vintage to use these type of decal,only brush painted type,these were introduced in the 50's sometime i think,could either be korean original or a mock up in more recent years,still a nice lid+liner materegards Dave.

    Thanks.I thought its about time i posted some of my M1's, i dont just collect Brit lids!Almost certain the lid and liner is post war usage..no idea on the 82nd logo though.
    I always thought a decal is a transfer?
