[jumpingjank]

thanks nickd !its gotta be US made korean same serial stamp number ! ,and the color match's korean war colors and its mwa 22 ,that one in that like is mwa 61 same stamp different number and the helmet looks the same as mine ! ,so it must be korean i guess not confirmed but its the most info i have had on it,so this is probably made around 58 like that one maybe ? ,and the liner is korean war you think theres a chance in the one that came with it ? cheers

[jumpingjank]
