Strange green m38 canister
I purchased this m38 gasmask and canister from Dave Shirlin at germanhelmets.com this canister has had the outside repainted and has the US vets name who brought the canister home written on the lid. Dave Shirlin did not know if it was a war time paint over or a postwar paint over.So my question is has anyone ever seen this shade of green used before on german field equipment.Quite a few years ago I remember reading a couple of articles on a paint used in Normandy called GPR green that was applied to either HEER or WEHRMACHT helmets or field equipment cant remember which trying to find the article again but cant remember which book it was in.Any imput positive or negative would be welcome thanks for the help.
