It's been postwar repainted a few times. But is still a original shell I would expect. Fair buy
Thanks for the insight!

The green looks too fresh to be 65+ years old
Could be a Norwegian repaint, or one of the many european countries that reissued these after the war.....
could be... i know for a fact there are only two coats of paint, grey and green dont forget the texture under the green. i know what you mean by the reissue though, i have an m40 finnish reissue.

It's still a nice original shell. My M42 was a polish reissue with a similar colour, but that was stripped before it was repainted, whereas yours sems to have a "history" of repaints!!!!!
you got that right, mate!
by the way, see my avatar? its a photo i picked up...original 100%!! i have a bunch of really awesome photos....a couple of wartime sheilas too!
Nice one.....I got the original portraits of my two Wehrmacht great uncles and a pic of a German Sheila I got in a German wallet set
