Clive Law's book on the Inglis Hi-power has 3 or 4 pages dedicated to the lend lease decal (put out by the Mutual aid board) including a copy of the letter sent to the various manufacturers indicating their availablility and sizes. The letter was dated Oct 5 1943.
There was a guy on gunnutz out of Calgary who was making up strips of 8 decals for $10 in the size required for the pistols. He was using decal paper which you use with an ink jet printer to make the decals. Apparently it is available for model builders.
I installed a decal today on a deactivated Inglis I just mailed out.
Rick Yuke in Moose Jaw picked up a Dodge APT about 10 years back and the lend lease decal was still peeking through the civilian paint on the hood.
