Shame.... I have also seen SS helmets with ruins touched up in this manner.. This helmet is a frickin GEM! I can see your sadness as this entire helmet is museum quality shape, I mean immaculate! I would venture to say the price tag wouldn't be cheap - and the dang touch up is a glaring eye sore compared to the rest of this helmet being in such good shape! Its the only thing wrong with this thing, thus - one thing you will always notice... Most people - wouldn't... Unless I had a helmet in my collection in better shape, my answer would be - why not have this one?
Hi David,
There is also that scratch at the 10 o'clock position that seems to also have had some treatment?. I can understand ( to a point ) why someone would do a touch-up of what otherwise would have been a perfect decal not realising that it would be frowned upon......
You are a helmet magnet my friend!!!!
Cheers, Dan

Thanks guys. Should be here Sat. or Monday. Have lots of time to make a decision whether to buy it or not. No pressure.
Thank you again for your analysis on this.
