Burning Hazard Posted November 15, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2019 Recent eBay find; a salty WWII V corps liner. Insignia is painted on with visible micro cracking on the white paint; it's not a post-war transfer decal. For some odd reason it has holes drilled into it, likely a flower pot or wall hanger.

Ray42 Posted November 15, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 15, 2019 I remember seeing this one, it was nice the majority of the liner seems to be there but torn. It looks really good with the chinstrap positioned over the 3 holes in front like that. Glad to see it found a good home, I personally couldn't tell if it was paint or a transfer when I first saw it.
