Re: SS Eagle and Skull, Real or Fake?
Sorry Steven...but as almost everyone in the hobby has found out at one time or another, there will always be sellers who take advantage of young teen collectors and foist their fake crap onto them and take their hard to come by money from them with a snickering grin. Personally, I don't see how these people can sleep at nights, knowing full well that they've stolen money from a young person who's trying to show interest in a fascinating hobby. I Really do think that this should be a crime and much a more rigorously enforced one. As has been said above., the 2 pieces here are not genuine and are, in fact, quite bad examples of even fakes. Again, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if nothing else, you will always find the Truth here on this Forum! Never be hesitant to ask! And, welcome to the Forum too!

Hello Steven and welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, there is really nothing more to add, I agree with the other opinions posted.
Please do stay around and browse or show us some of the other items in your collection.

Re: SS Eagle and Skull, Real or Fake?
No worries about the verdict. I don't have much of a militaria collection, it's something I started around the age 15 or so and had given up on by age 20. I do understand how valuable it is to have the eyes of so many experienced collectors at my disposal, and I am very thankful for that. Again, thanks to all who have taken the time to give a detailed reply and consoling here.
I'll certainly bookmark this forum and come back to browse. I'm a big history buff and still a collector (of a totally unrelated but equally niche-like collectible), and I enjoy reading the posts and seeing the relics on display. I'm still marveling at the photos of that cache of WWI German steel helmets just discovered in France. Makes me want to get back into militaria!
Best,
Steven
