I'd be more concerned with the paint on this helmet first.

It's got some "issues"...

The decals are original, IMO the paint is postwar of Norway Army.

The decals look fine to me. What the hell happened to this one?

I agree, IMHO the decals are good but the blue paint is not. Hope this helps

I am wondering why the decals are so poorly centered on the air vents, and
why the decals look to be applied over the blue paint?
Just thinking out loud

the decals are original the eagle shield is outlined and tri-color have the just cracking (not artificial with warm) they were covered from the blue paint and they have been after discovered the paint is post-war period and stripped only partially.

The helmet paint is terrible. Not something that should be part of a collection.
