Thanks Ivan. You’ll need to set your camera to the macro setting, but more importantly it needs to be good high res camera. With digital cameras it’s more a function ‘pixel power’ than how close you get to the object. For this task I’d suggest 7MP min. If you’ve got the gear be sure to take the pictures on a sunny day with the sun at a perpendicular angle to the eagle to highlight the relief and you should be able to get good results. Thanks in advance for your efforts mighty Putski.
As an aside, and for your viewing pleasure, here’s one that sold earlier today:
Cheers,
Tony

Nice!
Here's my only MkII helmet with a painted Polish eagle: main problem is that the eagle is facing the wrong way!
No replies? should I assume this Mk II and eagle are 100% genuine?
Hi Loupie,
Aside from what apears to be an even wear of the helmet surface all I can say is that I have never seen the eagle applied over an oval 'base' of a different colour paint. The closest to this would be the SBSK helmets where a white eagle was painted over a red background in the shape of a shield. I'll add that the eagle facing in the 'direction of Russia' is also unusual. Inadvertent stencil application slip up, or maybe intended?? Sorry I can't offer any more.
Regards,
Tony
