RZM M1/52 skull

[Woolgar]

Anddd, what do you reckon on this one? I honestly have no clue with this, I haven't seen enough, but my natural inclination is to believe it's fake.

There is the biggest thread ever seen discussing this item over on WAF !

Crikey. This thread's a blast from the past... I did actually manage to find my own genuine Totenkopf since I started this and Srdj, even if yours is real, my one had much, much worse casting quality than yours and is 100% junk. I can't really comment on yours... I mean, the RZM is a lot more prominent and the casting is better, but still lower quality than I'm used to. It's probably more down to the seasoned experts to judge.

Hi, they're fake I'm afraid. I can only specifically help you with the skull, though the fact the eagle matches and comes with it is enough to denounce that too. The overall form of the skull is just wrong, something you'll be able to notice immediately after studying enough original examples. Compare the details I've highlighted between that one and my original example:

More original M1/52 (Deschler-produced) skulls. None of the following are owned by me, I've just gathered these pictures from forum members for reference purposes. Thanks to their respective owners.

Note the difference in the type of prongs on yours and these also.
