P.S. : some Years ago I found by a Czech Seller an 1944 Steelhelm Repiica Liner what fit an DDR M 1956 Helmet (based on the Wehrmacht BII..( cannot found those Liners now anywere?)  the rEsult similar as in the following Photos.. as known the "Paint color" changed in the War from a "Feldgrau/Green" to a more "Grey" shades differ by Factorys. so a "Grey Color" would be right like in the "Baer Book?

I grinded the inside   Rivets out and used an Wolfram Steel Drill to create new Rivet Holes..the Result was Amazing! by now many others do similar Stuff grinding the Rim off - stretching the Shell up (what looks now like another Prototype ..plus added an Decal ??..some just look rediculous..and some even try to sell as Originals..for "Mega Bucks!"
