Ok....Gilespie manufactures USMC color in Semi-Golss and Lusterless. For a mid '60s USMC M38A1 what would be correct? Rapco says Semi-Gloss for Stateside and Lusterless for In-Country. Is that correct? DOes it basically come down to which one I prefer?

Wes...do you have pics of the USMC M38A1 from the Natiional (I saw it in the background)?


Thanks

Paul,
There was a 1963 USMC A1 Radio jeep MD93050. It belonged to the same fellow that had the USAF blue M38 right next to it. Unfortunately I got so tied up with him discusing the radion equipment and power connectors that all my photos of it are of it's components. I have no overall photos of it. I believe Jake Shetka was the owner.
