I like these rough overpaints. Nice purchase!
Was looking at this earlier today and didn't see any black paint either. When you get it in hand, take a photo of the areas you think you see this.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Here are some more photos I tried to take some but they are not the best but it does seem black to me or maybe a grey turned dark with age???? And I was thinking that on re-issues wouldn’t they have covered up the rank that was written on the apron of the helmet?
Strap is riveted and that looks somewhat black.
Looks to be a Gefrieter rank marked in the rear apron too! Still think it’s an overpaint that has simply darkened.
Iam more than happy to settle on the idea it’s not a Czech re-issue lol, the chinstrap is also a Luftschutz chinstrap with staples put into it for whatever reason
My old eyes are still not seeing black paint.

Yup, rather dark grey, the czech firepolice helmets i have seen where a deep night black, nothing like yours, and i guess they would also habe overpainted the name in the skirt.
With the dark, almost black paint and a Luftschutz chinstrap... maybe a Flak Helmet? Maybe defending some city at the end of the war, and thus easy acess to civil chinstraps, but thats just a theory.
