Hi there,
yes of course. The old original texture is underneath.
The top layer of paint is semi gloss and the color is OD Nr. 319.
At such places you can see that old flaked paint has been painted over. The new color is in the missing part.
The OD color from the factory paint can be seen coming through in some places.
Semi gloss OD Nr. 319 was used towards the end of the 2nd World War until the 1950's.
The helmet could have been painted over towards the end of WW2 or until the 1950s.
IMO this typical color tone was used in the 1950's. glossy, brownish OD typical for the Korea-era.

I did not fundamentally object.
As I wrote, this color was used towards the end of the 2WW until the 1950's.
At some point during this period this helmet was painted over.

I hear you brother... its a gray area for sure .... Some lids were refurb after the war in this dark color that made it to KW .... then again during the war some were reissued in the darker color as well w whatever paint was around (Vehicle paint what have you) .... And we have all seen that video of the guy spraying over the insignia'd helmets w his dark spray gun while the war was active for Reissued lids. I have had this discussion before .... for me its going to stay on the WW2 shelf no doubt. I Appreciate your comments Sleepwalker
