Hi, well I have been looking closely at this one and am not certain one way or the other. The pulver looks good as do the runes positioning to the shields soft breaks, and it is on a CKL helmet which is correct for an ET decal. It is just that to my eye the runes appear to come a touch close to the edges of the shield? A tough one for me to call, a shame Doug is no longer here, he would "nail it" in a second! Try sending Kelly Hicks a PM, he is a member here and may be willing to help out. Leon.

I do not like the decal at all..

Hi, straight on pics of the decal would help, at a slight angle like this they tend to distort the image. However, the decal looks like it was applied over the black/dark paint and there looks like some artificial tool marks on the right side of the decal.

Possibly an original decal post war applied?
( the chinstrap is wrong anyway having an aluminum buckle )
