Re: Possible ex-camo paint?
No clue, but it doesnt look like there is much to hide under those specks of paint.
What movie was it in, do tell?

Re: Possible ex-camo paint?
Seen it - fantastic film Not surprised that that's popular on here! And I'll try to link the film to the forum when it's out!
And as for the helmet, great! I couldn't see any other logical reason why it'd have green and reddish paint all over it. Could've been scraped off by a soldier for reuse elsewhere, I suppose? Whatever the case it all adds to the history! It's from the Russian front, anyone know any particular battles which used camouflage helmets then? (probably many...)

Re: Possible ex-camo paint?
Do your self a favour, take a magnet and see how much sticking power there is, some of that "camo " looks like filler to me especially where the pock marks are, also are there any photos of the interior

Camo was used on helmets on every front in every theatre , no way of knowing even what front this one is from !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
