Reproduction Decal Images

It is nearly an impossible task to post images and document the numerous variety of reproduction decals currently available on the market.  Many decals found can be very old while others are fresh off the printing presses.  Decals are most often found in water-applied format, although many newer made decals are produced in dry-transfer format.  The higher end decals used to counterfeit helmets are typically lacquer applied decals similar to originals.  The images below represent but a small sampling of the decals that can be found on helmets.  Over the years many of the decals below have been mistaken for "originals" and occasionally a collector or two will even deny that the decals below are fakes!  For a look at some of the higher end reproductions click on one of the links below.
