Did the Pagoda ever have an MB windshield decal?  The Classic Center lists two different vintage deals.

What type of decals are you typing about? There is a snowflake decal for the coolant. Are there different versions, or something else entirely??

Similar but different to the decal on modern MB that are usually place at the bottom right corner of the windshield.  The Classic Center had two different decals for vintage MB.  Here's one of the two.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercedes-Benz-Classic-Windshield-Decal_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3911Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3ef8875a6aQQitemZ270457592426QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Once the other decal is listed I'll post it here.

There was a "signature" decal on the lower corner, right side of the windshield in the 1970's and later. The decal came into use after 113 prtoduction ended and would not be "proper for a Pagoda windscreen.

There is a glass stamp on the lower left corner. There was a thread about this not too long ago. That is, with the SEKURIT, Sigla, etc stamp. The only other decal I am aware of is the snowflake, that shows the coolant temperature range.

I didn't think there was a decal for the 113 but then noticed these 'vintage' decals that the Classic Center was selling on eBay.
