Hi I picked up a kreigsmarine helmet double decdecal se64   8084 batch only some one painted over tri shield with  enamel paint and slightly over sized it took it back couldn't save the original shield underneath but original shield shape looks like it has etched in to the helmet so looking to find a original try shield as only original will do in respect to the helmet

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.

If the shield is original, I would not do anything, just leave it as is. There are original shields still left over, but no longer useable.
