I would be more inclined to describe a helmet such as this as a Mediterranean cammo myself. Leon.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Make sure you ask the vet which company, regiment, division, etc. he was in, and that you record it here. When he's gone, it will be very difficult to obtain that information.
Regardless of the exact color, you can't get much more of a DAK when it comes straight from the hands of the old guy that picked it up himself personally in Tunisia during the war.

I've looked for an outline of a lift decal I just don't see it, what side is it on?, Also the maker and sz are ET 66. My friend told me there was a 104th motorized art unit attached to the 21st panzer regt. I found the soldiers name also painted over on the inside of back skirt.
Yes I did record all the vets info, he was in the aviation engrs. He's 92 and sharp as a tack. His eyesight is very poor. Him and his have sold their house after 50 some odd years. I'll keep in touch with him he's only 5 hrs away.

Is awesome and getting it from a vet makes it very special. Have not seen dak helmets very often. Nice score indeed.
Very nice lid, and great provenance/history
