Hi there.
In my opinion you should never try and ‘liberate’ or ‘dig out’ hidden decals.

Agree

It definitely looks like field-applied paint, in which case you should leave it as it is. The overpaint is part of the helmet's history, and digging out the decal would only harm it.

As the others have said ... that would be a no no in serious Helmet Collecting. Removing paint. Acid baths. Digging for decals. It a different thing. Also if you did dig ... you'd probably ruin the decals anyway.

Yeah, how about you don't do that

don't alter historical items , if you want to see decals buy a helmet with decals. Or look at the forum.

Don't worry lads. I'll leave it as it is.

Hi Denmark,
I got the message loud and clear. Like I stirred up a bees nest. But thx all for the excellent advise.
The thing is that I was not sure if the overpaint was periode applied and not a painted over relic. I think that has been cleared. Still wondering about the blue inside paint. Maybe the lightfall? Maybe re-issued LW helmet? I'll check it out and share it on the forum as the helmet has arrived.
Cheers Paul
