188Lieut Posted November 9, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2017 Recently picked up what I believe to be a post WWII/Korea painted medic helmet named to a "Vanderpool." Curious to know what information others can provide on the paint job for this one. I'm new to the world of helmets but haven't seen any painted completely white like this one. Thanks to everyone in advance for their insight. --Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
