Re: SS cap skull, and related items
I would say that the scull is obvious fake and the eagle is modern Pakistanian copy

Hi John, welcome to the forum!
Sorry, I must say I would agree with Dimas on both items.
Cheers, Ade.

The cap badge is a 1960s stinker. It is a knock off of an Assmann skull and was found frequently in fake caps of the era. On another website, a collector has recently bought an authentic cap with the self same badge on it, as well. These were everywhere when I started to collect as a pup.
SS cap insignia are a real mine field, made no better by the social forces associated with these things. One either has to have much luck and even more time, or a great deal of money and great skill. There is little prospect of finding such things on the cheap and with little heartache.

Re: SS cap skull, and related items
a fourth and fifth and basta.

Re: SS cap skull, and related items
That fourth one is quite interesting. It appears to be the unmarked skull which is generally [and incorrectly in my opinin] attributed to Deschler. I don't believe that I have ever seen one still on a period cap, as this one is. Would it be possible to get a higher resolution image of that particular TK?
Thanks,
Brad

Re: SS cap skull, and related items
I am afraid that this image you seek is all fate has left me. I secured the picture some while ago, at a time when Shea frequently had black enlisted caps. Sorry to disappoint you.
