Beautiful helmet!

How much did you pay for this beauty?

I could buy it for 1250.- euros. I guess the decal is ok or what?

Hi Gisle,
I would like to see the decal under a loupe. Dimensionally it appears as a correct ET (what is maker and lotnr?) however the scaling of the runes in particular the left rune has me somewhat concerned. I dont have much experience with relics, but I question why there is what appears to be fresh white scaling in some areas and discolored, and even rusted scaling in others.

Also what is white doing underneath the black runes. You see that in crazing but when I see it in scaling it is usually on a fake decal.

I also see some what appears to be fresh scratching on a decal that has been on a helmet repainted and appears to be a re-issue, and a relic to boot. I also see 2 points on the decal that are not as sharp as what you would expect an ET to be but that could be the pics.

I would be interested to see what other SS collectors think of this one. I am on the fence due to the relic condition and my inexperience with relic helmets, but would solicit more opinions and/or an iron clad return policy.

Just my $0.02!
Cheers
Doug
