Ed Fedory Posted September 22, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2016 I recently purchased a fixed bail, front seam M-1 painted light blue. On the front of the helmet letters are stenciled: H-P-D Is anyone on the forum familiar with this particular designation? Thanks in advance...Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberry 9 Posted September 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2016 I'm guessing repurposed for the highway patrol department maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryM3 Posted September 22, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 22, 2016 Agree with the others comments. I've never seen that shade of blue paint on a USN or USCG helmet of any time period. A long shot is it might some type of UN or Peacekeeping detachment but my best guess is police use. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
