    Hey all. Looking for thoughts on this helmet! I've had it for years and did not spend much; no lo$$ if the decal is trash. It was purportedly from a collection in Budapest, Hungary- but I know the rarity of reverse decals so I have low expectations haha

    Hi, well i am not liking the construction of the decal, looks almost painted on or "touched up"in some areas? The angle of the runes appears to differ one from the other also, personally i am not liking it as an original decal. Also as a "sub-note" that hkp lot number is listed as no decal, that is no rock solid proof in it's self but does not help it. Leon.

    Thanks for the input Leo; always been my concern as well! There are lines/scratches that run through decal and continue on the helmet so I always assumed it’s been on there awhile at least.

    I can a send a more high-res version of the decal if anyone is interested.

    There is no resemblance to a known period SS decal. Would expect to see a Pocher decal, which this is not, nor is it any other known design.

    SE/hkp did not produce SS helmets so at best it should be a field applied Pocher decal as David already stated.
    Pass on it.
