decal

Could I please have some opinions on whether this decal is original or fake, I think it could be the latter. Thanks.

At first glance it looks good, but with closer inspection the disk appears to be offset to the right, and the breaks are somewhat severe, which graphic characteristics are seen on a known repro Party shield. I would like to see a straight on shot of this transfer before I make a call. Jim G.

Greetings Jim, thanks for your observations. The photo angle does gives this impression, but the sides are equidistant measuring exactly 4mm. Brad.

Well, honestly, it looks pretty good to me. What are your concerns? Jim G.


I edited this post because I now think the decal is a high end repro and I know the piece that I mentioned is good, so I took out the reference to that one because it is owned by someone else. Jim G.

Would love to see the whole helmet

Hi Jim & all, the reason I asked about the party decal was to get unbiased opinions on it prior to showing the runes decal on the other side . Photos of decal up.

Well, the runic shield doesn't look good so I am probably wrong on the party shield. These are pretty good repros, dangerous really. Jim G.

Jim,

For my understanding and advancement what catches your eye on the tunic shield?
