Original m42 shell?

[HistoryDigger75]

Is this an original repainted m42 shell or is it a fake. I know the paint is post war

The air vents look odd, It looks like a relic shell that was redone with body filler and someone made new air vents out of washers maybe.

Get some photos of the stamps.

There are none but thanks for the reply’s it is a little light so I think it’s a restored relic

I think TheGoon is on to it. But could even be a stripped down repro, either way very undesirable.
