I got this shell and liner at an auction and would like to know more details of what I have. After going over the forum M1 ID stickies, I believe the liner to be WW2 era. It has the front eyelet and the string tie for the webbing. The rivet on the liner chinstrap says "United Carr" on it. The back strap says "AM. Stay Co.", "5", and "W 199QM 39942". I could not find the mfg stamp in the liner. The shell is swivel bale (broken off for some reason) and rear-seamed. The texture of the paint is very fine-grained. I could not see the heat stamp under the brim because the paint was too thick. I guess I have a late WW2 produced liner and shell probably used in Korea? I would be grateful for any more info. Thanks.
