Not an original I'm afraid.
Thank you, DougB !
What yet will be opinion?
Theres no more to be said JW, Doug knows his SS decals and helmets, the helmets are more than likely real but aged by rust with fake decals
to help also if you look at the lower right of the decal you will see lumps underneath the decal
Those are 2 different helmets, and I just realized that there were 2 decals. My apologies, I was looking ONLY at the first decal (the one on the left) on my iPad this morning over breakfast. I did not realize there was a second.
The first decal I have issues with as it appears to be applied over rust and the graphics of the shield is incorrect to be an ET as well as there is something going on at the bottom left. The decal just looks off.
The second decal is either a Q or a Pocher decal however I am afraid the photo is not good enough to give an opinion on originality and the decal is severely damaged in the key reference points needed to tell by a quick photo.
In either case with relics and damaged decals an in hand is 100% a must.
My apologies/
davejb,DougB, Thank you!
And photo which is added from excavations :
The ground dug M40,I can see the remnants of a decal, so theres a chance of that being a Q or Pocher im thinking it could actually be a Q helmet, the M42 i cannot see any remnants of a decal, therefore i think Doug has got a point re the first one , fake decal, the second ,the M40, could prove ok, did you dig these personally?
