Luftwaffe M1940 SD Field Division?

[LToms]

This helmet belongs to a fiend of mine and we were looking for some opinions on it. I am not much help since helmets are not my area. He works in a local gun shop and they were out buying an older gentlemans collection when he found the helmet in the garage. It is marked ET 66 with a white 33 on the nape. It is more of an army green than other Luft helmets I have seen. It also has a lighter shade of green overspray (sorry it does not show up well im my photo). Would this be cosidered a camo helmet? Would this be a helmet worn by a soldier in a Luft Field Division? The chinstrap is dated 1941 but I have not checked the band date because the liner is dry. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

Last the liner. If anyone needs pictures of some other parts let me know.

The helmet look nice. I would inspect the rivets to make sure they are tight.The eagle is original. I like it.

From the pictures it looks like a textbook factory Luftwaffe. I barely can make out a subtle green overspray in areas, so yes it would be enough I would consider it a camo.

Thanks for all of the responses. My friend will be glad to hear your opinions.
