I've contacted the seller and asked for more detailed pics and if the bike really has decals instead of hand lettering. He didn't send pictures but confirmed that the bike has indeed decals. He said the Herse shop switched to decals in their last years and that the bike has been repainted there. Don't know if this true, but since I could't find a single Herse part at the pics I hesitated to bid. Can anybody confirm the "Herse used decals" story?

BTW: There's a brown frame with (different) "Rene Herse" decals hanging in the Singer shop which is obviously and according to the Csukas not a Herse. So at least fake Herse decals exist.
