LOL. This is great. I notice this also. Nothing against our friend Rick
Larson. He is an upstanding businessman, and he provides an excellent
product. However, a WWII MB or GPW just does not look the same with vinyl
(plastic) markings.

I do have one question, however, there is an m37 in the town I used to live
in which was direct from DRMO. The water department had/has it. Anyway, it
has original vinyl-type letters. They are different. Obviously they were
not computer generated, but machine cut. After 40 years, they are still
there, and they look pretty good. Don't ask where it is, because I'm just
buying my time.............
