Originally produced in a dark green Heer style paint finish, which is still visible on the interior, this helmet has been repainted with a tan base coat and brighter green and brown splotches, with light sand/dirt texture, as well as a net of twisted steel wire; though undocumented, this tri-tone pattern is associated with the occupiers of the Normandy region of France circa D-Day. The inside rear of the skirt is marked "KF66/3510", with "K.L." hand-marked on the webbing; "K.L." has not been identified.
