Question of a re-enactor: Early war paint

[andre1983bl]

Hello to all,

If this is posted in the wrong topic an admin may move it.

I have seen some very nice early Double Decal helmets on this forum and other websites.
just a few:

But what is the right ralcode? For M35 and early FJ helmets (M36 till M38)

Some looks like WW1 paint what looks like RAL 7009
Some say Warhats Ral 6003

Maybe some one here could help me

Mine present re-enactment helmet has paint from DDay 1944 on it

The first two helmets in the links are the correct color for an early DD FJ helmet (M36, M37, or M38). The last link appears to be the normal, and later, Feldgrau color. The photo appears to be a little light in color, but likely to be correct for a new helmet issued in 1938.

Thank you for your time.

But there are no RAL code known of the early helmets?

Left a repainted M16 shell in RAL 7009, in the center experiment helmet right/below mine present helmet.
The early (apple?) green colour looks close to the WW1 ral 7009, but i bit greener then gray.

Ral 6011 and ral 6021 comes close
