Hello,

Just by seeing those pics I would say the blue-grey paint is french post war reissue. Seems it still has original 'Dunkelgleb' paint under. Please see this other thread dealing with the same theme:

Thanks for this information,

I trusted the paint even not!

But what you think about this action?

Pics are not too clear in this second one...I don't like the 'wa' stamp on the drum, it could be good but.. I don't know. The stamp on the carrier looks OK. The paint on the carrier is good also but the drums look a bit different, perhaps due to the light. I'd need to have it on hand.
