    Hi everyone,

    I bought this relic helmet on impuls some years ago in Latvia. I don't know what to think about the originality. Eastern Europe is infamous for it fakes. The shell looks good but has almost no paint. Big size. I measure 70 cm on the outside dome. Some traces of factory stamp in the neck part. For me not readable.

    I can see some shiny partikels in the decal looks silver and gold.

    I got some photo's. What do you think?

    Cheers Paul

    Looks like an original shell with a fake decal. The shape of the decal and runes is wrong. You should be able to find the shell size on the liner band.

    I though so much. I'll check the size. At least I have a good shell. What do you think, should I remove the decal??

    I think if you tried to remove the decal Paul you would leave a tell tale spot on the shell that would look worse than a repro decal.

    Cheers,
