Helmet gurus,
Can I get an opinion on this Police helmet, the first thing I noticed was the decal appears to be reversed?. Unfortunately at present this is the only picture available.
I appreciate the help

Sorry to say but that party decal is a fake.
Do you have a picture of the other side?

Thanks chaps,
One fake decal is enough for me!, the seller insists it is a police helmet although I suspect the other side will probably have a fake SS decal as well. I requested additional pictures before this post so if they turn up I will post for them for curiosities sake.

I agree that the decals are repros. The liner is suspect as well....if real, it does not have wear commensurate with the helmet shell... all in all a bad one.
Sorry,

Appreciated Gentlemen,
The decals are a little more obvious now we have the larger pictures but for piece of mind thought I would ask the professionals.
Regards

All have been said, repro/fake all the way.
Looks like a Latvian special with acid aged shell,fake decals, etc....
