Kenny Andrew Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hi Graham, we have had original decals for sale in the past, but most people just buy them for their collections and not actually to add to helmets. I have heard if you try to add them to a helmet they tend to break up because of their age. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are original shields still left over, but no longer useable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
