In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
Look the white paint is over the rust.
For the leather.....?

The white is postwar applied, the back and forth tool marks are obvious and there is no paint wear around the split pin holes or raised areas of the helmet. Liner appears bad as well, either way this is a walk away piece.

Hi, as said, this one is definitely not an original winter cammo. As mentioned already the tool marks are repetitive and the paint is not worn in the correct places. Leon.
