You have to be joking. A zinc Overhoff badge sold for USD 1600? That is utterly absurd. Or was it a cupal badge?

Zinc not cupal ! $1351 plus 20% buyers fee on emedals
Germany, SS. A Second Pattern (1934-1945) Visor Skull by Overhoff & Cie, Ludenscheid
Such buyers with bottomless pockets I suspect are investors rather than collector "enthusiasts". The same phenomena has also occurred in the market for classic cars and motorcycles, among other things.
Thanks. I have no wish to belabor an old saw that hardly interests me.
So much for the grandees and others who tell us that the SS market is dead.
Missing FB on these matters..
Wishing him the best...and wishing he would return...
Aldo,, I can't comment on authenticity on the last item you posted but there will be others with as much shared knowledge as FB that will I am sure will contribute...

Zinc Overhoff M1/24 Skull - Opinions, please?
I don't want to get into too much mumbo-jumbo here but if you look at the bottom jawline you can see vertical striations in the metal, that's indicative of a die stamped piece which of course is how these would of been produced. And all the other characteristics of an Overhoff skull are there as well good detail right prongs right attachment method etc. I'd go for it if the price point is there.
Thanks Brian, I agree. I've actually developed a better eye on these skulls but always ask for confirmation because of the high cost. Smitty and Danmark, I too miss FB and his colorful comments. He is a real asset to the forum. thanks guys.
