    Yes, this is the standard "apple green" as seen on most DD para helmets up till about 1940. I believe you can sometimes find darker shades of the same , semi-gloss green, but these are much less common.

      ok so this is a lighter shade of field gray/ green, then ? right? My point is what is the color apple green, I am inclined to believe that it is a lighter shade of field gray green, and later examples were darker shades of gray green , even late war black geen etc.. I need to know because people ask me for apple green and then i have to explain to themn that there are diferant shades.. thi is a good example of early war so it will do well ty again

          Speaking for Heer/KM/SS/Polizei helmets the early(pre-war) color was a lighter green that was slightly drab which was coined "pea green". Later(1938-39) the color became a more glossy darker green which was coined "apple green".

            I agree.
            Glenn's helmet is a M38 ( 1938 onwards ) and is in what is commonly agreed to be "apple green". I don't think there is an agreed term for all the later shades of green ( glossy and matt ) that followed .

                      Jager,

                      Colour is the hardest thing to put into words. Here is a picture for you...courtesy of Kelly Hicks' book "SS Steel". Pea-green on the left and apple-green on the right.

                      Cheers,
