1st pattern Luftwaffe decal?

[KRISSE]

Hello guys. I did a quick comparison with 1st pattern Luftwaffe decals on this forum. IMO is this one a very bad fake decal, aswell is the tricolor.
Or could I be that wrong? The eagle even has no eye... poor bird!

Repro liner?



Thx,

K.

On the other hand,... a 1st pattern eagle on a M40? That just makes no sence I guess!

I've never seen one but it might not be entiret out of the question. However, this being a double decal M40 with early bird, I doubt it. It also looks like this helmet has had dirt rubbed all over it to age the paint and the decals. That's my guess. Where is this one for sale?

For sale at Marktplaats.NL

You should never see a snake leg on a M40 ,they stop the production of that decal in 1937 and the shell model started in 1940 so no possibility od using that decal.The helmet is a fake.
Not a very smart faker
here one from my collection .
