    I was given to understand that it was RARE and if I remember correctly it was accompanied by a photograph showing a number of them being worn in some sort of U.S. army ceremonial parade.

    Basically, that is it. I've seen pictures of Americans that show chromed helmets and white boot lacing in fancy patterns for full dress parades. For some strange reason the US Army circa 1950s like to really 'tart things up' for ceremonies and parades.
