Hello Guys

Happy to show you my recently trade german camo helmet.

Any comment is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Very nice in all aspects. Bob

The paint looks a little fresh for my liking. Exterior shiny while interior is dull. And the exterior is remarkably scratch free.

An interesting M35. Looks to be an early nonreinforced liner band and the interior seems all fine as does the chinstrap. The exterior is interesting too .... it certainly seems to exhibit age and patina and if you look closely, several layers of paint. Usually faux finishes have no layering to them even though ageing paint is now quite advanced and convincing.
Close up photos of vents, rivets & the rim would certainly help IMO.

I really like the overall look, old dark rust bleed through the paint, seems to indicate real age to the paint with a good all round patina.

Hello dear fellows

Here are some other close up photos.

Quite difficult with my camera due to the flash!

many thanks for all your opinions

I dont see that.

I believe that is the flash of the camera. Also notice the front rim of the inside shot to see that both sides of the paint are just as 'fresh'.

I'm not seeing anything that makes me think fresh paint, just my opinion though.
