Another SS Fake

[U-96]

This is an NS66 helmet. The decal seems like the ones depicted in SS-steel, found on NS shells and similar to the ET-type. Still, I have a problem with the first rune. The top isn't quite straight when you take a close look at it.
I'm only a novice but do I see a red flag here?? The price is ridiculously low for an 'original'

Its a reproduction.
My opinion..

IMO, it's bad. Artificial aging and nicks. Run the other way!!!

Yet another good M42 bites the dust...hang onto your M42 ND lids!

I showed the pics to a fellow collector and he said what I thought: a fake. I have to admit this is a 'pretty good' fake. Again I learned something
Thx for the help

Scratches without any fading always makes my suspicious.
