Very bad.

[Tom Kibler]

Here is a hint why it's bad:

The RBn number was a late-war means of identification for different manufacturers - not listing the cities where manufacture was done. That said, being in an M35 model helmet - a No-No.

Also - "SS" runes like that - there is only one on the planet, with impeccable provenance that I've seen that is real. And it looks nothing like that.

It is the famed crushed glass fake Pocher decal and Tom has it correct on the inner information.
