Gary, the decals came into today's mail and they are exactly like the orginals that are on the bar, very good quality also. Thank you for the fast service and other samples you sent along.

Doghead it gets cold up your way you should not stand out in the rain you get a cold and get sick or something like that. They should come soon, they look very good.

Hi Guys,

Now, a funny thing happened on the way to perfection. I got a PM from Evilone with some actual close up pictures of the decals as they exist in the real world so I can actually read the things and see how they are laid out.
Since authenticity is what I am striving for I will post here what I received from him.

Hi Polverone -
Just was checking out this thread and noticed a picture of a tow bar in it's mount that you made a sticker for. Great idea on making something that is hard(?) to get for our use, but....for the purists out there and the anal ones, which I may or may not be at times(I'm told), the new sticker is not exactly 100%.
I took the photos of the original bar in Afghanistan as it came issued with our tracked MTVR which was brand new, as well as all it's issued kit. In another thread, I posted the pic's of the bar in the mount mainly for the way it was mounted on the hull, with the leg on backwards for storage. Attached are pictures of the label close up dead on with a little more clarity of the numbers as well as the vehicle with it mounted. I should have included it in the other post but unfortunately I didn't think it important...

I have included the pictures here for your observation. Though minute in detail there is some difference mostly in the NSN decal. I am throwing the old ones in the round file and recreating them exactly to the pictures below.

So many thanks to Evilone. Now, for those that ordered the decals I am sending you a new set(s) on my dime. I have created an Excel spreadsheet with names and addresses for those that ordered them so it is not a problem who gets them and where to send them. I should have them out on Monday-Tuesday.

At further retrospect, I am wondering if the OPERATORS INSTRUCTIONS decals that I created in the beginning are correct for the time period since it is the same wording/spacing on the TM sheet? Hmmmmmmm. Now I wonder. But I have both now!

Revised decal pictures here

Perhaps there should be a marking of some sort to show that they are not original labels......
