I would offer him $30.

I really prefer the M40 and the M35. What about the decal.

[zwerge]

It`s an RAD decal,but it`s in such bad condition who can tell if it`s real.?

[cricketchris1944]

I would like to have it if it is real but not at that price.

My golden rule stands , if pics are crap just walk on by.

I cannot believe you'd actually consider paying 300$ for a paintless , linerless shell.

Both RAD decals shown are fake. RAD M42's are re-used Heer helmets. With either the RAD over a Heer decal or the Rad decal on the other side with Heer still showing.

Here's my configuration.

I did say I would like to have it if it was real but not for 300$ I was going to offer 50$
You go a nice one and very difficult to find.

Thank you.I like them rusty ,I would have bought it for 50$ but from the info it is a fake so I do not want it.There is no point buying it if it is fake.I do not know much about RAD stuff so thank you again for your help.

Hi Chris, edited the title for you.

Look closely at the decal. It was applied over the rust pitting. The faker has picked bits of the decal off over some of the rust pits, but not all.

Cheers, Ade.
