Summary: Chris Armold has done it again!
Review: "Painted Steel: Steel Pots Volume II" has joined "Steel Pots" as an essential reference in every helmet and militaria collectors library. "Painted Steel" provides, to date, the most comprehensive review of U.S. helmet markings. This book will allow you in determine if that M1917 2nd Division helmet, with a painted insignia, is from the Machine Gun Company, 5th Marines, or another unit in the Division. Additionally, Chris, with the assistance of Larry Munnikhuysen, includes a chapter on a totally neglected subject-- a history of U.S. tanker and combat vehicle crewman helmets. To complete this fine work, Chris Armold includes a useful chapter of fakes, reproductions, and misrepresentations and closes with an update for "Steel Pots." So if your considering purchasing a pricey "WWII" M1C Airborne Helmet you need this book!
