Another Totenkopf question...

[bloodaxe]

Hi All

First time poster here - found this amongst my fathers bag of Brit caps badges - they are all pretty old. I dont think its a real un, judging from the other posts here, but thought I might as well see if its straight...



made of silvery metal, maybe steelm the coppr lugs ( one missing ) seem to be brazed on

comments and the inevitable confirmation that its a copy appreciated

Thanks

Looks like an old biker type copy.

Not good.

as i thought !

saw a few being hawked in the Ukraine a few years ago, and one in Kaliningrad last year - Suppose these are bogus as well ?


Cheers

HI, and welcome to the forum.

It is indeed a British made biker item. These have been around since the 1970's.

Due to the high value of SS cap insignia, they are widely faked all over the world.

Cheers, Ade.

This one is not made too fool someone I think, because It is so "grotesque".
