RYD,
The trailers that this guy had, were all surplus in Un-Issued condition. However, they sat around for about 12 years so some slight surface rust was evident. It probably could have been left alone the way it was, but I wanted it to look new.
The seller did ask me if I had the paint color codes for the H3, and I could have had it matched , but I wanted to keep it the Original military Olive Drab.
He seems to have a pretty good source for etting them in from Canada, so he might get more. This one was one of his last three.
