SS-VT Totenkopf Button

[Aldo]

I finally pulled the trigger on a SS skull button, or an SS-Verfügungstruppe M34-pattern, side-cap 'skull-button' ('Totenkopfknopf für das Schiffchen'.) to be more precise. I just loved the finish on this one and I couldn't resist adding it to my TK collection. I had difficulty taking natural light photo's in this weather so these are the best I can do. As always I appreciate comments or opinions on authenticity.

Looks good to me, your TK collection is coming along nicely, but please wait for more opinions.

Thanks Chris, I found this thread that F-B left his mark on explaining the "63"

SS Skull Buttons original or not?

Toecutter also posted a similar one somewhere on a thread.

Here they are all together

A very nice original example.
Congrats on adding this to your skull collection!
