2:The liner inside with that round cork in the bottom is it original ? it looks so new ( cork part at least) the liner marking is 7 1/2 V.M.C.
1 1941
And finally the screw on top and it’s a washer inside look too new to be period what were suppose to be there originaly ?
And i just realise that they have put on a us M1 chinstrap if i am not wrong
Should i leave it like that or try to take out some layer of paint?
Thanks for the answer
