Nice set, these early pattern Danziger TK are only going to become more collectable as the second pattern becomes scarcer.
The eagle has the sloppy application of it's prongs that is common with this pattern.
It looks great, hard to upgrade from that set. The minor corrosion is not an issue, those artifacts are over 80 years old, I wish I could look that clean and crisp at 80. Now the hunt for the second one begins, Ha ha, enjoy.

Thanks, I took the advice of an esteemed colleague F-B, who unfortunately is no longer a member of the forum, and invested my time in collecting different varieties of Danziger skulls. In his words when I posted my first Danziger " We wish Aldo much good fortune in his collecting, and, given the price of the Danziger versus the Deschler or the Overhoff, or the legendary "SP40" and such metal giggles, he can collect a number of these. The Danziger comes in many intriguing variations, and does not cost very much. And no one knows anything about them, which adds to their allure and attraction for collectors. You can get a fistful of Danziger for the price of a junky zinc Deschler, but to each his own." That's not to say I wouldn't love a Zimmerman, Deschler or Overhoff when I can afford one. Happy hunting and keep posting your finds., Al.
I've always preferred the Danziger pattern, personally. I have two different variants myself, and acquired both very reasonably priced
