Hello everyone, I'm not sure if the helmet is real. The decal looks weird as well. All help is welcome.

Could be,, I have had helmets with this type of disolving decal.Happens when exposed to severe moisture, dampness etc.over 75 plus years, sometimes due to the decal side layed idirt, canvas, etc.LIke a picture in a window exposed to the sun from dawn to dusk, it fades, blisters cracks, etc

The seller is asking 130 euro's for it. Is it worth a shot? The only concern I had was the decal.

IMO kind of high for just a shell, but....not any like this anywhere else.
