Chris Boonzaier Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 This mask was taken to the States by a GI after WW1, I saved it and brought it back home ;-)I like the sand coloured tin...
Chip Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Chris,Is there some significance to the color of the carrying can? Is this painted over Feldgrau or is it the original paint finish? I like the color of that helmet in the picture. I have one that color too. Is this lighter color particular to a certain manufacturer or was that just an earlier color?Chip
