Blue Bulb.  It's darn difficult to get Chromium to plate blue.

I always giggle at these things.  They were meant for combat-no frilly 
things such as leather, just dull non-refective paint, even the shutter is 
non reflect.  And they we go a put a flash on it?  I guess there was more 
IR film used than I want to believe.  I'd just hate to be the GI that has 
to dive from fox hole to fox hole with a pile of flash bulbs in his 
pockets.
