M 42 Helmet single decal with questions

[skalphunter]

M42 ???? helmet with single decal. The decal is UV negative. Unrolled edge.Odd is that the rivet in the back is not exactly centered but off about 1 cm to the side, Also the rivets left and right as well as the ventholes are not exactly on the same spot then on the other side. I really would appreciate your help on this odd helmet.

IMO decal and paint are fakes, the liner has chances to be a good one.

Fake decal,......

Fake decal and I don't like the paint, but the liner is ok.

Its pretty common to see slight imperfections in these M42 shells, especially the later ones.As for the helmet, the paint, strap and decal are all fake. Its been taken apart and redone with repo parts. Liner is a good one.

So if i understand correct the M42 shell and the liner are original ??
