A rough and ready paint job on this Mick, very interesting to see it, and not one I can comment on as I have never seen another like it.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Sorry Mick but i'm not convinced that is WW2 era camo, it looks like it's been painted over rust!..

I am inclined to agree with Gunny, looks like someone has tried to spice up a civil defence helmet. Under the green camo parts there is both black and khaki, it looks like the green was applied after the black layer already had some wear as the khaki is visible.

Hi Mick, I am sorry to have to agree with Gunny and Harry. Using my "experience" with Third Reich cammo's, I personally would not be at all happy with this being period applied paint. As the chaps have said, there is a hell of a lot of wear underneath the green over paint. That wear is also old and established, with pitting/scratches and rust. At least it was cheap and it may be worth trying to strip it back to a plain black lid. Leon.
