This link will take you to a youtube video regarding fairly hi tech German WW2 Waffen SS Helmet decals they are flogging in the marketplace!
Can anybody see the flaws? I spotted a big one right off the bat!

How is it possible that the French Government can pressure eBay to BAN NAZI items, and still this guy can sell swastikas with impunity?

If this is a quiz I'll play. Looks to me like the 2 angles in the SS runes are much too accute. Right?

The first dead flaw I noticed was the lack of a Point on the bottom of the shield. It is too rounded for a Pocher Runic shield.

That is enough for me.

You're right about that. What do you think of the shape of the SS runes? I've never liked runes with such a sharp zip-zag.
