SS blackie helmet - look ok or a definite no go?

[PotatoDigger]

Repainted, scrubbed, sanded, etc. etc. For kicks I would like to know the maker and photos of the liner.

Looks like a typical late war rear marked EF M42, the EF stamping is just so badly made that you can only see a light dent in the metal.
The lot number font also suggests EF

An M42 with a Pocher SS decal is always one to question.
I'm not saying they did not exist, but this type of decal is far more common on earlier helmets.

Anyway - this decal is bad.
