 +1 on the  ES 125. I have one from about 1955 myself.

It would have originally had Kluson 3 on a strip tuners and  gold speed knobs for the pots and a raised Diamond on the tailpiece bar. Thin tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard. Dogear p90

I prefer the Tonepros Klusons three on a plate. The modern "Kluson" Kluson tuners are rubbish.

The tailpieces are readily available though the diamond is not quite right and the end bracket is the smaller thinline size.

Speed knobs are pretty standard.

Do you have the pickup and cover? they arenot quite standard

Let me know if you need anything measured.

For what is worth I believe it is a ES125-T (for thinline) - although it may have the same appointments as the thicker ES125.

I have found decals on Ebay  - just do a search like Thomas suggested. Some I have seen look much better than others, check the old script closely for the best match.

It does look a bit like a "T", but I dismissed that as camera angle, can't really tell.

ES125 logos were silk screened.

Thanks every one I was abale to bring up a picture of it on Google like Thomas said .It looks like it is a ES 125-T as sugested and i went on ebay and saw some Decauls in MOP for it as well .Now all I have to do is get it on the go and get the hardware orderd as well. Just someone here had thought you could buy the head venere with the logo already on it. As always I new my freinds would be there to help me out. Thanks to all who replied .Bill.........
