Original or fakes ?

[Pascal BERNHARD]

Hello gentlemen,

need an opinion about this "Deschler" skulls please.

You now me now...

I have already my own one, but do not want to influence the reader...

Thank you.

I'm going to go with "fake", but because everytime I think a skull is good it's a repro ;-)

I'm going to say the first one, M1/53 is a fake.

Hallelujah. Mr. Carlsson can comment on the other, with the long strike between the 1 and the 5.

I do not really study all the permutations, as I am skeptical of many of them as being really significant.

The M 1/52 one has a faux alu finish, but is cupal, which I will also leave to others.

The splints on the "M1/53" are a horror. It is actually a parody of a Deschler badge.

As far as I know, (which is quite little regarding these), no maker used this number.

It's in fact à M1/52, but the pic is not the best...

You'd best look again Pascal, it is in fact M1/53, good pic or not.

The silver m1/52 looks good to me. The first skull is a obvious fake (pic1 & 4). The long slash is one of Deschler's variant.

Thanks for the answers !
Will perhaps asking a close up pic of the markings of the cast fake.
