Took a chance on this one which also arrived yesterday,never cost too much either,a nice KW set which has been together for a long time.both the shell and liner were repainted in typical KW fashion,then the liner had a coat of thick gloss white,with remains of some sort of emblem,the Liner is a 1953 HBT Capac with unreadable MIL stamps on the Nape and Sweatband,but they too are HBT so are of the same time frame pre 1955,the surprise was the shell. its a front seamed Schlueter made late in 44 with black steel Buckle,original olive drab on the inside,note the shell has the later OD7 webbing chinstrap with OD3 bar tacking thread..............
