Sure but Chevrons are cheep, while a pristine looking Medalist, which

In the M.A.S.H. episode, Hawkeye sends a telegram to President Truman.
Truman left office January 20 1953. So unless the Chevron was
available for Christmas 1952, it is unlikely that Hawkeye would have
had one while he was in office. However, Hollywood makes mistakes like
this all of the time. And we can forgive them for thinking that anyone
would be anal enough to raise the question ever, let alone in 2015.
Well done, Collin! I enjoyed that!

Quoting CollinB <[email protected]>:
What camera was Hawkeye using in the episode dr pearce and mr hyde?
It looks like a Kodak Chevron, produced from 1953 to 1956 which means it was
probably (just) in context for the Korean War.
Here's some info:
