Unusual SS decal

Hi all,

I m not an expert but this helmet is presented to me as an original but I am unfamiliar with this decal. Is it an original type or is this a bad fake?

Stuff like this did happen with some volounteer helmets, but this one looks like its over the rust.

So the decal itself would be OK if it were not applied after the helmet rusted.
I have never seen an authentic example of this type of decal before.

THANKS GUYS!

No mate, its not a genuine decal either ...... graphically unlike any wartime SS decal. Just a 1970s bodgy.

Right- that is what I originally thought that the style of decal was not period or original.

Love your signature line "always look on the bright side of life"
