I was in Chattanooga last spring and stopped in a few antique stores. Not much in the way of decent militaria, US or otherwise. Its a shame because it used to be really good. 

Here’s a tab shown in the topic: Legion of Merit -Showcase, posted by Spartan19. Shows the award of the LOM  to Sgt. John P. Delaney wearing the 88th INF patch with a “Publuc Relations” tab above it. 

There is some trift stores around, not been to a lot but there is one in hixson called bethel trift store that I got a pasgt helmet and a 1944 canteen cup at. Also I think there may be a army surplus store in red bank? Not sure as I've never been there. 

Where? I occasionally make it to Chattanooga so I'm interested to know what's around. 

I don't think it's U.S. maybe European? I'm not very familiar with the foreign copy's of the m1, but I'm pretty sure the U.S never used a plastic liner. 

Restoring a 1943 M5A1 stuart that looks like it ate either a pak38 or pak40. It was repaired and sent back out.  Im trying to figure out the history of the vehicle.  Serial number is 4169 and it was built in March 43 at the South Gate plant in calf.       Best i can figure is the round hit the headlight guard on the way in and that would account for the splatter / spall marks on the front armor plates.  They all radiate from one point which rays back to the headlight guard.  The undamaged area would of been protected by the lower slat of the guard.  It most likely absorbed enough of the kenetic energy to allow the area between the upper and lower spalling damage to not be marked or pitted.       Would love to find out the history, if the driver survived  etc.       Going to leave the damage from the shell l, would like to know its story. 

Nice patch by the way!   -Ski

Also I remembered when I was trying to research this I found two others also marked the same for sale, I don't remember seeing any with a different date.

I would like to know what this liner was made for. Is it related to the UN troops in Korea? The chin strap is getting brittle. The circle marking is the only one I can find. I have not seen ww2 to Korea liners made of plastic before. All the ones I have seen are lamination fiberglass.
