Hopefully the gurus will assist on this as well.

( thats what I heard from some big names here )

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!

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.

This same decal is recently discussed on WAF and GHW and tries to copy a 1940 pattern ET in my opinion. fAKE_Runicr.jpg (34.44 KB, 399 downloads)

And for the writing that didnt turn yellow , it depends wich paint they used to apply it.
