With only 1 pic, heh!!!!! Rivet is redone for starters, have interior pics? Decal seems like a re-do, shell looks to have repainted around decal area.Decal looks like *antiqued*new job.

That's a no go. The decal is not correct: placing of the runes, shape of the shield,...

Kudos to Panzerfaust for stating WHY it's bad. Too often, we see remarks that something is bad or good without further comment.

Isn't that pointy shield usually a dead give away?

Not just pointy at bottom but a tad lopsided too. Left side bottom higher than the right and misshapen.

Further comments:
-Overpaint is bad, recentely applied using a common paint.
-Shield is absolutely fake; fantasy design. Have a look at original ss shields and you agree it is fake.
-rivets are imho postwar or repro ones; anyway from this picture is hard to say.
- Liner? we don't see it.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
