Zimmermann skull 499/49

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Thanks again, i think ill go back to my usual hang out spot now. Clearly a heck of a lot more studying needs to be done for this section as does most

Your cause is helped by seeing these in real life. The pictures can often be very misleading.

To each his own is a fine maxim, to which I adhere with fervor.

One needs one's full senses to embark on the collection of these little devils, I will tell you.

I still cannot see things on my own pieces that appear in these pictures, and the more recent fakes are all reverse engineered from the same pictures.

Much mischief goes with these, especially the misinformation that sometimes clings to them, as well.

It is a form of head hunting transferred into the digital age.

This is the original war trophy going back to the dimmest moments of human doing, transmuted through the Deschler shops, and it causes many people to go mad.

Here are the "deadheads" I have hunted, but without any silly stories to go with them.

Yes certainly so, i just took a chance in person and got a bit excited. Also id just like to say im a bit of a fan of your posts and pics Friedrich, you have a certain way with words which i could not even match with a dictionary. It makes for interesting reading on an already interesting subject

Thank you, Rory, the best of the season to you and may your collecting flourish.

In this image of my badge you can perhaps see the difference between a cast piece and one struck from a die.

Also see the material in post # 5 above.

Nice skull dude (:

[Friedrich-Berthold]

A nice badge on a nice cap, truth be told. I can trace where this cap has been since 1960, if not earlier.
