[Munich]

With the number of round botton decals on helmet you would think ,there would be period pictures,but not one.

I agree round botton DRK decals are fakes.
I do not know any serious Lightweight or civic helmet collector who would buy one.

I had the chance to look at round bottom with the microscope yesterday.
I had to use the portable one , on screen it was sharp but it is difficult to make pictures.

The helmet also had a dark blue color.
The USB showed all the traits that I would want to see in an original decal.

Same wavey borders, same ink coverage showing white under the red and black , blunt corners , white color milky white as you see on LW decals , tricolors , etc...

I will do some more comparisons but so far it may seem that we need to re-evaluate our past negativity with regards to this decal.

That would mean Baer didn't know about their existence when he wrote ....... but then he doesn't say much on them really compared to the other organizations.
