Gas Mask Can...Fake Camo?

Hi Guys,

I'm guessing, that this is fake paint on this can?
The can itself is original "mka 44" ...

Cheers,

Yes, becaause you can see rust and on the rust, the camo paint. The little strap is missing. Something found in bad condition with a little painting to sell...

Looks to be a postwar paint job, the colours look a bit brighter than what you would expect.

Thanks guys - I'm REALLY staying away from camo stuff...there are just too many fakes.

I don't necessarily agree guys. I cant see paint where the paint have peeled off. I can see small bubbles under the original paint as well as on the camo. The fact that the color is clear looking does not mean much. Especially at the bottom rolled edge it looks, to me anyway, to have peeled of naturally/from use and is consistent with the upper wear marks. Try and look at both the feldgrau and the camo sections. There are "bubbles" in both areas. Just like on an old car.
