Hi All, I hope this pic helps to identify a real SS decal as opposed to a fake. Just because it looks good doesn't mean it's real; you need an expert to examine it. This example is from my M40 and it was authenticated, by Kelly Hicks among others. Don't be taken in by dealers who just slap a new decal on a helmet and try to age it. Remember when sending a photo, get as close as you can and shoot straight on. Thanks, Joe
