I have the same decal on my M42 SD police. Does anybody know the maker of these decals?

Almost looks like the chinstrap rivetting so low was a modification for a big boofhead of a bloke!!
Nice one Jim!
Cheers, Dan

Decals with these graphics are seen on ET and SE shells. In Ken N.'s book he shows an unapplied water transfer decal with the same graphics that he said would be the type seen on ET's, and that the manufacturer was unknown. I would guess your Police helmet is either an M40 SE or an M35 SE. Anyway, to make a short answer long, I don't know the name of the manufacturer of your decal, sorry, Jim G.
PS: On a second look at the picture of your decal, I see that the paint has some texture, unlike the unique smooth green Police paint seen on the M35 and M40 SE helmets. Is yours an M42 ET/ckl? Jim G.

Hi Jim - my helmet is actually a hkp (so SE pre 1943). It is a late war production. The liner is dated 1944. My thinking was that it was all that could be supplied when this decal was applied at the factory. I'll have a look at Ken N.'s book again, I could have sworn I didn't see this decal in there.
Sorry OP I didn't mean to high jack this thread!
