Now I am all but started on my very last battery ever of the Russian army came to realise their hand tools should be painted dark green. Right? |

One would assume that all wood items, gun carriages, limbers, and wooden tools would use the same standard paint. |

I was under the impression that the colour was light green and not dark green for gun carriages |

When I started in 1981 all info was a few color plates at most a description which doesn't get into the minutiae. So I figured wood paint it brown. Finally started noticing pictures instead of just uniform plates tools are painted same as carriages to prevent rotting.
I use a mid green of my own mix. On second to last battery.
After completing my army already planning to start redoing old units. |

Green it is for the last 2. And I guess the Prussians used blue hand tools |
