I agree with the above statements.
Genuine M42 helmet shell with an incorrectly placed 'aged' repro decal.
Not sure just when these aged decals became available ?
Too bad about the liner - although it looks like it's possibly a recent
replacement - seems it has been nearly ripped out of the helmet
by someone/something...................

You can get them here as well. The decal on the helmet is a reproduction.

Agreed the decal is a pre-aged fake and VERY poorly placed. Note that the decal should be about 1 cm below and centered under the vent-hole. Nice shell though.

Thanks for all of the replies and advice. I'm disappointed that the helmet does not appear to be authentic but on the other hand at least no one spent a bunch of money thinking that it was worth anything. IIRC it came home from an auction in a box full of other weirdness back in the 80's.
Thanks again,
J
