Are you sure the decal is good?
Luca

My thoughts exactly ... especially when the bottom of the shield appears to have been deliberately defaced ?

decal SS identical by

hi
here are photos of another SS helmet manufacturing HKP
identified by KELLY H
same decal second type, exactly the same form of decal
and completely identical,
So I give you a document on the same model to explain myself so I do not understand !!!!!!!!!!!
Any response to a hurry to distort the final decision of the piece
thank you very much
sorry my English is not terrible

[Max Wünsche]

I wouldnt say they were identical.....

[sans probleme]

that you are different?

[kuroda]

Both decals aren't identical.
First one doesn't look authentic....

[Trta]

I am quite sure that someone repaired edges of that decal on first helmet (second is superb and also original ) ! And for now if you look better, by form ,they are not even close ! Can you put same really close pisc of decal on first helmet !

TT

here we go !

Yes the 2nd one seems repaired... but the rust under the insignia is difficult to fake, only my 2 cts...

But indeed the black edging is less thick on the 2nd one.

Grommets are different as well. Jacques

well look angles DECAL
HKP is specific to the manufacturer's ends of the angle of the runes endings pointed to the difference of the copies end up round

noted that the frictional effects due o the time we still see the black band

[sans probleme]

This makes the band seem black decal off the varnish is

First helmet is not authentic...that is not a champagne rune decal and appears to be a roundbottom fake with the tip of the shield deliberately worn to cover up the defect..
