Norwegian postwar used ww2 German helmets A study in diferent shades of green and mor

[Gulli]

Hallo
Someone asked me to also make this tread at the Waf forum.
Because on the GHW forum its in a protected part of the foru, ( i realy dont know if thats a fact) so here it is.

I finaly got the time to pull out some of my collection on postwar used German helmets in Norway.
Since we now and then can hear the frase "typical Norwwegian colour" used lets se if there is such a thing as typical Norwegian used colour.

Also some differentses in the standard Norwegian coat of arms, the Lion shield and its variants over time.
As far as I can remember there is 4 different types, but I think I only found 3 this time.
And belive me or not , there are more different colour than the once I will show you here.
This is the helmets I found today, I know that I have missed out some.
I'l try to post them as I find them.

The first 24 helmets have been photografed today in the same type of daylight, whitin a short time period.
So the colours should be okay next to each other.
So tune your colourcontrast on your screen (monitor) and enjoy.

Best regards
Gulli

Tghis is a helmet for the airforce, they normaly only have one decal. and are quiet rare.
The armyhelmets have 2 "lion" decals.

restored upper part of the flag.
The upper part was scrathed of by some morron looking for a decal under the paint.
I hope he had a missrabel life, hehe

A late version. late 40's early 50's

Se also the strange stamps for the Luftforsvar in the leatherliner. rare.

One more whit the Norwegian flag.
This looks to have an orginal German overpaint.
Most likely used by the resistance boys just after the german surender.
But have a look at the rivethead?

One more whit a garanteed orginal paint.
The flag have been placed over the Adler and the lover part scraped away.
Why and when the silverpaint was added I realy dont know.
maybe the owner just was "pimping it up a littlebit"

And on the right hand side the monogram of the Norwegian king during the war , Håkon the 7th in a Victorysign.
