Re: German gurttrommels!
Hi Pieter,
in my opinion the color is not original and brush-applied!When something's not clear usually "experts" tend to involve this or that "Portuguese contract"...I have in my collection a few sets of complete gurttrommeltragers which were actually used by the Portuguese Army after the War and they were painted with a water-based paint darn close to the Panzergrau.Once the paint was carefully removed the color underneath showed and it was the typical "Schlamm" (mud) color used from 1943 onwards.
As a side not the vast majority of these drums were left in the red oxide rust-preventive primer inside and white arrows indicating the right direction the ammo belts had to be rolled up.
