I honestly can't say for sure. I have never seen one of these, but I would note that since they are so rare, I would be very skeptical.
Cheers,

Even rare on a lowly old fireman helmet? looks like a lucky shot if real then. So what you are really saying is you dont know, only that it is rare so its got to be fake??

Cheapest of civic helmets + suspicious decal = not much chance of originality imo . Rob

As I noted, I have never seen one of these before. I have seen drawings of this type decal and I am certain they did exist, but probably not in large numbers. Since it is a rare type, and if you are considering a purchase, be certain you get an evaluation and a right to return within a reasonable time should it prove to be bad. You might consider posting on other fora that are more specific to helmets (such as GHW) - I am sure they can sort this one out fairly quickly. All that said - I am still skeptical, but hope for your sake that you have struck gold!
Best wishes,
-Mike

GHW = German Helmet Walhalla which is at www.walhalla.se You must register and make a number of posts before you can post photos. It is a very active forum which, as the name implies, specializes in helmets. Cheers, -Mik
