Rare Deschler 52 variant

**Aldo** · 11-27-2019, 09:56 PM

Here is probably the rarest SS skull I have acquired to date. An early 52 variant with both attachments and solid finish. Note the large 52 on the top, rzm logo on the jawline and the blunt prongs soldered directly to the skull. I have included an updated photo of all my Deschler variants. I omitted the unmarked type attributed to Deschler which is not definitive among collectors as being an actual Deschler.
i hope you enjoy the photo's. Al.

Thanks Chris, I left out the Zimmermann's, Overhoff's and Assmann's because they are not relevant to the thread. It's insane but I'm up to 23 SS skulls, 40 Danziger skulls and 15 assorted Brunswick, Italian, Spanish and French skulls. I'm trying to convince myself to stop for the New Year and set my sights on a nice early Allgemeine cap. That would require me not to buy anything for months on end. I don't know if I'm capable of that. Wish me luck. Al

Good luck my friend, it would be lovely to own an in-situ TK.
I look forward to seeing what you decide.

Thanks I think I will try to hang tough and save for 6 months. I would have to stop checking the websites to resist temptation. Between that and the usual resolutions to eat healthy lose weight, exercise more, etc etc It's gonna be a tough 6 months. I still have December left to splurge and binge, LOL
