Having searched this forum and the net aswell as having gone through the usual reference books I still haven't found a definite answer to the following question:
What would the correct colour be on the "texture" camouflaged FJ-helmets that was worn in the Eben Emael raid? Would it be natural "sand" colour? Apple green colour? or some other colour???
A few examples are featured in the well known and widely published picture below.
Also, when, in roughly the right time, would the change from the early spanner bolts via the slotted, vented bolts to the final slotted bolts have occured. Can one pinpoint dates or a rough timing for the changes?
Finally, I've seen some factory pictures covering the manufacturing process of the M35 helmet but does anyone have pictures covering the manufacture stages, process or assembly of the FJ-helmet?
