Hey guys, just looking for some more opinions on this Totenkopf ......... i was 100% sure it was original, but i am now having doubts.... i have compared to several other Overhoff's on the forum that are original, and it matches some. I understand there is going to be slight variations. Bob or Ade, a little help please, Thanks!

I have compared and matched this to a design of a Totenkopf that Carlssonn1982 posted in a reply to a thread entitled "Totenkopf cap insignia,real or fake" posted on 06/12/10 and mine appears to be 100% original.

Thanks Bob! I really should not doubt my own judgment so much, i am still a new collector, going 3 yrs, but i obsess over Totenkopfs. I am always reading and comparing pictures. Thanks again!

You have chosen well. There is nothing like studying and looking at original examples to sharpen your skills. While the fake makers are also doing better every year, we must share the information to always stay one step ahead.
