Rob, I've got some concerns on the M42 SS decal, as the shape of the runes is not what I would expect. JR

Rob, Take a look at these from a period ET/CKL helmet. What is the maker on the one that you show Sir ?

Rob, not really the way that the decal was placed on the helmet, but the shape of the runes themselves and the roundedness of the bottom of the shield.

Sir, the one on yours doesn't look like what is normally seen with a Pocher, Q, EF, nor ET decal that I'm aware of. Hopefully the gurus will assist on this as well.

Ok ,I was worried that you meant some other people , that since the last 2 years started to think that everything that he sees is fake. ( thats what I heard from some big names here )

Early on during the beginning of GDC, I purposely tried to fool that Ole Boy, but could never do it. I gave a little test on the forum by placing a variety of known good helmet photos in with some known repos. He nailed all 10 to a tee........ When he's talking,I'm listening!

Rob I see nothing wrong with that decal on the 2nd helmet you posted. Appears correct to me. As for the writing on the skirt...Seems too bright. White after 60+ years would have aged to a yellowish hue. IMO
Can you provide a better quailty photo of yours? Daylight conditions without direct sunlight. A flash will also washout any important details.

I agree. here is its evil twin without the fake aging. This same decal is recently discussed on WAF and GHW and tries to copy a 1940 pattern ET in my opinion.

I would really think that those 2 decals are the same . And for the writing that didnt turn yellow , it depends wich paint they used to apply it.
