De-Nazified SS Single decal M40- help needed

[alikat]

Well, the seller never sent me any more pics, so I can't put this one to bed. It was a Massachusetts based sale.

Best left on the "ignore forever" shelf...

I do not think the rust on that helmet is as recent as one would first think. Could be 20 years old quite easily, apart fro the defaced runes, is the decal a complete no no ???

I would want to see it in hand to determine 100% but from what I see I am not impressed.

Rust can be a deceiving phenomenon, I have worked a lot with metal over the years, aeroplanes/classic cars/motorcycles, restored quite a few. That rust is not that recent, its not confined just to the decal either, I have pieces of mild steel left in my mother’s garage from over 20 years ago that look like that, but as you say, needs to be in hand for sure

Often a bad sign.
