Hello U.S.A
A little think for my favorite elector Republican McCain

about your helmet, it's always the same problem, your helmet is original, but the insignia is very hard to tell...
After the War, Lot of original helmet without insignia was added with a ss fake decal

ps : the ss name is strange also...added after the war I think...

I am not a Helmet guys, just a little collector, I wait the other opinion

Must have a way better picture of decal for starters.

Need clear closeups of the decal, and at different angles!!

A close up of the decal should tell all .Rob.

These guys are right. More pics!! Be sure the closeup photos are clear, and, as I said, at different angles. On the upside, the decal does appear to have a nice metallic lustre, but the closeup is not clear enough. Closeups of the name would be nice too. If the decal is authentic, I wouldn't worry too much about the name. However, lots of fakers "embellish" their work to lend authenticity to the piece. ("Well, look here... the guy's name's in it!! That works for ME!!") In actuality, embellishments or additions are often a red flag. The writing looks a little too perfect for being done in the field, but that doesn't mean it's not authentic. MORE PICS!!!!!

Looks promissing.

A good close up from the decal would help.

Looks like a Quist btw

It's the first time I've seen SS runes next to a name in a SS helmet.

-serge-

its a no from me

SS decals are a tricky subject. You need close up of the decal. Email Darryl with good pictures of the helmet and decal. Then you will have your answer. Save alot BS and sleepless nights.

Thanks Joe Semen

with great respect joe, darryl is not the only guy able t o tell good from bad, im not anywhere near him, but even i dont need to see close ups. and as for the BS commment, well,,,,,,we will see.

Maybe SO. He has the best track record to ID
any type of SS helmet.PLus he is only a email away.

Thanks Joe Semen

I agree with Nick, looks like a Q but good quality pictures are needed.
