What the...?

I would assume this helmet is much more valuable than a standard one. Because I would think for this particular example that the decals were added during the war by a GI or very soon after. If someone did this now with a good helmet and good original decals that would be a complete waste. But seeing as the time period is was done in It would be a very rare asset to anyone's collection.

And for all we know this could have been done by a German soldier who worked in a field supply post! Who just wanted to be funny or make a joke. :P

Personal preference. I wouldn't care to have it in my collection and wouldn't pay as much as a straight SD. Others would love it.

Post war joke. They have to many decals unused after 1945. Have seen such art work in Germany in privat collection

Coool Looking but incorrect. I would put it in my collection but not pay premium dollars for it.
