If he is cheap enough Kris I would buy him. He looks like a nice worn cupal one to me.
All the best and good luck

I also don't understand where that "type 3" comes from.

Hello Peter, Sid,
the type 3 is my classification.
I am still on a learning curve with Deschler skulls but in my opinion the variants that are marked M1/52 follow a line of:
Aluminium skull with the crimped in prongs.
The zinc skull with the crimped in prongs and then the more familiar zinc with soldered prongs on a round base plate.
I know there are other variations, for example the ones marked D&SMGesGesch, RZM GesGesch and the plain marked 52 but these are quite rare I believe
Hope this clarifies it
All the best
Doug
Always happy to learn more

That's ok, no problem. There's indeed some more rarer variations of them.
