Hi Merdock,

IMO the camo is post-war. Looking at the wear of the paint, I don't see the wear where I want it to see after 60 years and a couple of "war"-years. The camo paint here looks artificialy aged.
Also look at the condition on the inside of the helmet and the outside. On the inside the rim is a little bit rusted, the liner shows wear. The outside has too little wear in contrast with the inside of the helmet..

Kind Regards,
Dennis

In my opinion its a post war paint job with artifical patina..

Checkout the air vent on it also. Thats a very large one for a wartime helmet. Most post-war shells have the rather large airvent. Whats the manufacture stamp in the shell?
