Can I have your thoughts on this 1940 dated gas mask can - it has 3 layers of paint:
2 layers of factory gray (one looks like panzer grau and a lighter greenish-gray pea or apple green)
On top of these 2 layers, there is a hand-painted (looks like with a brush) "dirty white" / off white, almost light gray maybe due to age?
(looks oil-based, not white-wash)
A possible white (winter) camo? Looks somewhat promising…but…

It was recovered by a band of gypsy metal-scavengers (probably from a barn) here in Western/Central Hungary near the town of Mány, where intensive fighting took place in early 1945 (Operation Spring Awakening) as the German (mostly SS units) tried and failed to liberate the surrounded Budapest.

Cheers,
Fabe
