John333 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 What’s your thoughts on this guys ? Is the paint winter camouflage ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Yes looks like winter camouflage, but not the best condition, probably ground dug. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 There would not have been winter camouflage inside the helmet, could this have been a sand colour for southern front? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Good point Fritz, I agree not winter camo, southern front or just ordinance tan, looks like traces of a Luftwaffe decal too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Yes, a Luftwaffe decal, hardly noticeable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John333 Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 What is it’s value surely not too much given its condition ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Personally I would pay a bit more and get a better example, mind you I'm just not keen on ground dug items 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John333 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 I agree I prefer non ground dug items too however this seems cheap at £300? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Prices are high nowadays for good shells and orig. paintwork, but I think 300 is a bit much considering. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddieq Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I’m not sure it’s ground dug, just doesn’t feel/ look ‘un-put together’. Any markings (not decals)/ numbering visible. E 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm not 100% sure it's ground dug either Eddie, it depends on the type of soil it was in, but it has certainly been open to the elements. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John333 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 It was advertised as a barn find 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 300 seems a bit high to me, as I can get shells in much better condition for cheaper than this offer. But if you really like it/want it, go for it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 seems to be allot of things being found in barns these days, most are suspect 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
