It appears ok to me.
The eagle looks too flaked off, like what would happen to a water apply decal. This wouldn't happen to the original ones, plus the helmet shell doesn't look scratched up at all, which would make sense when the decal looks like this. IMO you should ask for better pictures before making a deal, if anything.

And a little add-on: It looks like theres no trace, or outline at all of where the missing parts of the eagle used to be, which there would usually be if it had been there for a long time. However I'm no expert, I've just gathered some knowledge from the "Fake Decal" thread, so don't base your opinion on me!

Comparing the national colours decal with one on a LW DD period M35 I have they are uncannily similar in appearance etc. I'm all for it being original and period and a steal at $400.
Cheers Brad.
Well guys, i went ahead and bought it, the seller is giving me a three day inspection period, the helmet is coming from his late dads collection and he told me he doubts his father would have had anything fake, when i get it i'll post more photo's. thanks to all of you. Craig
What else does he have for sale?
Just some miscellaneous bits, he has a real nice mg42 double drum with leather strap that he has listed as mg15 drum.
