Its looks like artificial wear on the decal and none on the surrounding paint work.

Need better shots of the decal.... hard to help you unless we have these. Looks to be an ET helmet with an ET decal, but I cant give you anything more...

Hi, even without a close up of the decal which under normal circumstances is an absolute must I am 99% confident that this was a no decal helmet that has been ruined by the addition of a fake SS decal! The lot number range that this falls in whether it be KL64 422(3?)5 or CKL 422(3?)5 are all no decal helmets right through from 4129-4257!!! Leon.
PS, it is also not an ET pattern decal, it's nearer to a Quist which is incorrect for this helmet maker.
