You should post some decal close-ups.
To my eye some of the scratching around the eagle decal looks a little suspicious or am I being too critical?
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
The 'eagle decal' , going by the pic seems very 'flat' in appearance, not silvery ?

To us it lookes like the helmet was painted and later somebody tried to clean it what explaines all the scratches on the helmet. But which off the "some scratches" you refer to ?

i am not sure what you mean whit :"not silvery"?by Pauls1970
I think Paul means the "pulver" which is the metallic powder used in making the decals
The decals (and the helmet as you note) has been scrubbed from the removal of a coat of paint. This in turn has rubbed down the decals, thereby removing most of the pulver and therefore the silvery appearance.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

I agree with Michael , a serious post war cleaning or top paint removal has been done here. The Heer eagle looks very odd and flat. And the tricolor also looks unnatural. I hope it was not too expensive.
