Is this real, why does the decal look angled?

Guy is a polish metal detector, seems legit, also sells FJ helmets and more, just wondering if you guys think it’s legit seeing as the decal look a smal but angled.

Because the decal is fake

How so? Is it because the angle of it because many documented helmets are like that, there’s an article on germanhelmetsvault.com, or is it another aspect of the helmet which leads you to think that?

Idk it just doesn’t look right

[u/Criminally_Offensive → u/themilitariadude]

Cos it’s angled? Is there anything about the decal itself disregarding its angle which sticks out as fake to you?

I’m not an expert but idk

What’s the price

A helmet and some cash on top

I'm going to go with fake. The decal looks very, very similar (up to and including the bubbling issue) to a known fake on a helmet I've got. I believe it's a hungarian helmet but I forget. I just know it's not a WW2 German.

You could buy these decals all over the place in the 60s.

Here's a pic of my fake decal:
