M40 Camo SS

[Cantara]

Hi, here is an M40, heavy pitted relic helmet with remains of okra/green camo (sprayed?) overpaint. Quite visible is a SS decal that in my opinion was lightly covered by the camo paint. Shell is Q64 with the batch visible but I can't really decipher it. Also number 31 painted on the backside rim. The inside looks very blue-ish colored, almost Luftwaffe? Love to here your thoughts on this one.

Not a relic guy by any stretch but the decal, from what I see, could be a "Q" runic shield. For me a definite maybe. Jim G.

always the problem with these relic shells , very hard to authenticate. The inside color is weird but could be so from the chemicals.
I also see a Q style runic shield but for me the lower left of the rune seems to far from the border.
I would say impossible to be sure from photos and perhaps even with a hands on.

I agree with Frank. These relics are almost impossible to authenticate. Especially from photos. And also agree with the possibility that the treatment often changes the original paint color
