I've been researching this USMC lantern and can't find anything at all. Now I wonder if it is a US Marine Corps or a US Medical Corps lantern. I'm leaning towards a US Marine Corps lantern, and if so, was it black or my beloved olive drab in color? Maybe I should paint it and leave the experimental Cold Gun Blue for a lantern that is easier to obtain? Also, if painted, should the "movable" part of the chimney including the cap stay unpainted? How about the bail, the globe wires and burner assembly?
Sorry for all the newbie type questions, but I am trying to learn.
