This set of waterslide decals holds a sheet of insignias for all combat units of the 101st Airborne Unit in WWII, as well as other miscellaneous insignia and markings for 1/35th scale figures.
The sheet comes in a stapled-shut clear cello bag, with a stiff card and the instructions.
The instructions consists of a single sheet, printed on one side and folded in half 2 pages in color.
The first page says it is a waterslide decal printed by Cartograf. Below that is Archer’s street address: Archer Fine Transfers, 305 NW Railroad St., Youngsville, NC provided, along with their web address.
Page 2 has illustrations of the 101st Airborne helmets.
It says that the position of the bar or dot next to the markings illustrated means that, if the bar or dot is above the marks, it is the Headquarters of the 101st Airborne.
For the 2nd Battalion the bar below is shown.
Below this are illustrations of 16 insignias, an American Red Cross insignia and the number 242577 which is an unknown number that was strung from front to back of the Army medic helmet.
There are more than just this one number in white on the sheet, along with MP marks and USN ones. Enough marks for many figures.
Markings are printed in red and white.
