And without that distracting background the distorts (for me) the helmet and the ability to analyze it.
The helmet certainly looks scrubbed with remnants of black paint.
The decal photo is really poor and taken at an angle and very low resolution. But, admitting I could be wrong, It looks closer to a Pocher decal than a Q. The left rune appears to be closer to the break where the Q is below the break.
Maybe D, Andrea, Frank have better eyes than I. I trust their analysis more than mine on SS decals.
it's a Q Michael.
Thanks Andrea. With the scrubbing I could not be sure. the break looked much closer to a Pocher...but that is why I deferred 🙂
