Thank you for the info, gentlemen. I truly appreciate it. Do you think it's worth me asking the seller to send some clear close ups of the decal or is there no way this is authentic? Thank you.
It never hurts to ask for closer and clearer photos -especially of the decal, of course, but I cannot see how there could have been rust pock marks Beneath the decal. In this case, as has been said, it appears to have been obviously applied Over rust pits, so not a good indication of authenticity...

Im no expert on the SS decal itself but as you ceratinly can see for yourself the decal is placed on the rusty surface and in the uppermost left corner ´the silver clearly goes into the pit caused by the rust. The rust is also very different outside the decal than inside of it.
Best,
Jan
Sorry to say, but the new photos just confirm the earlier opinions on this one....

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
