I am not an expert, but the underside of the helmet is painted, so that makes me think that it was painted post war.
I am not an expert though.

Another 'cellar' find..

Not much to say on this one. A fixed-bale relic M1 shell circa 1943.

Almost Looks like someone has mixed cement in it.

Hehe, I have a relic german helmet that I don't know why I bought, that I am 99.9% sure has actual cement on parts of it.

Certainly looks a lot like cement on the inside, but I have seen them used for planters, chicken feeders or worse. Nice original relic M1 complete with stress cracks, no fake here.
