A really cool relic Dan. I love that extra thick over paint, the decals peaking through and the apple green showing in places. Looks like it may have been original owned by a Gefreiter.

Agree. A chunky thick coat of over paint Dan.
I can see why you enjoy it.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Thanks, guys,
I know we all can get pretty anal about any type of cammo but in reality in the field it was "needs must".
The paint used was probably anything available, thinned with petrol and mixed with whatever crud was available, thus initiating the 'urban myth' of the "zimmerit helmet"

Still a nice looking lid Dan and your quite right , Camo on helmets was purely on a needs must , local basis . Many of the Helmets that were found in Eastern Estonia haVE a lightish green over paint , they obviously had a large stock of this colour , known locally as " Mummasaare Green " .

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
