Very hard to say from what is remaining, Frank/Schwerpunkt knows a lot about these but I've not seen him around on here for a while. You could try posting it at GHW. It looks like it has a shot though, just on the overall appearance of it.

It looks like a good one, the graphics, shape and composition all look right. Jim G.

Is this the battle damaged helmet? Would be nice to see the entire helmet rather than just a partial decal photo.

looks about right.

I thought I had seen it before, the one with the splayed out rear skirt. Without checking the GHW thread it certainly looks like the one.

Thats the one

Just checked GHW2, this is the thread

Same helmet. I dont understand why the entire helmet is not posted here for comment and only the decal? I always find that frustrating, like someone is trying to hide something, yet asking for opinion on a partial part of the helmet. I find it sort of disingenuous.

Just a pet peeve, not calling out the OP.

Hi, I am not the RAD expert you are looking for( not much of an expert on anything really!) but I do like what I see. The decal appears to have a good solid "grounding" to the shell and consummate wear. I am not a member on GHW2 so I cannot look any "deeper". The other images of this one would be most appreciated. An interesting and potentially rare helmet. Leon.
