the fact the helmet has been repainted and the decal placed over it dosnt help, also the border is way to thick,{not always so though} easy test is to run your finger over the decal with your eyes closed, if you can feel it , its usually a bad un

I remember this helmet from years ago. I think I know who's collection it came from. And I know it's real. Is this helmet up for offers? Not to go against everybody else but I can't see anything wrong with this one.

I would like to see it in hand. Maybe the age, wear, construction of the decla would look better in person.

I have some doubts, but it does look like a decent one for display. I do think the decal is bad and yes, the helmet appears to have been repainted - but when?

Tex,

Has the helmet been repainted? Can we get a straight shot of the decal?

Here are some thoughts... I do not like the look of the decal from the pictures, but it can be the camera angle light etc. The decal does have a "Champagne" SS look but with the current photo it is hard to tell. Ot would be very uncommon but not unheard of to have a "Champagne" decal on a Quist especially a reissue or field paint.

Thanks,

Bryan
