I'm posting this helmet just fro general discussion and opinion; it has been in my collection for several years. I'm curious if anyone has ever seen a Red Cross like this one? It looks like it is heavily enameled, I don't know if it baked on or just multiple coats of paint but either way it is certainly unique. The "white" circle is flaking and, for lack of a better term, "silvered". It came with a salty Vietnam-era liner and the T-1 clip with a cut strap that I chose to leave untouched. So, I figured I'd share for all to enjoy/discuss/etc.
