UN painted WW2 liner
I find this one a bit strange and interesting considering all the US and clone liners that have been made since ww2 that could have been used for the UN.
Its a mid ww2 westinghouse liner with a 1963 sweatband painted in UN colours with transfer decals. Which I got from a British soldier who was issued it for his Cyprus tour 1985-1986 with the Queens Dragoon Guards as part of the armoured Scout Car Squadron.
So 1942/44 liner with 1963 US sweatband issued in 1985. I wonder where it has been for those forty odd years.
It would maybe help I someone knows when the UN started painting helmets blue and when transfers were first use for decals.
Or any other thoughts are welcome.
Best Regards and thanks.
