This has been identified as a fake on WAF, as such markings (SS 373/43) are not found on original death's heads...I also recall Snyder's Treasures trying to sell these fakes as original...
cheers, Glenn
Thank you Glenn !! looks like his all set of death heads for sale are fake...not cool...
He's well-known as a dealer in fakes...Stay away!!
cheers, Glenn
Old, more or less, 1970s stinkers.

The second ala Overhoff I cannot determine its date, others can, but it's no good, either.
Pfui.
SS runes never appeared on period examples. Which makes one wonder why the fakers might make such a boneheaded (er, no pun intended) error. If it was an error at all. I guess it could be an attempt at playing on some certain collector magnetism toward the iconography of the regime that none of us are completely immune to. The voltaic sig runes offer the beholder the same sort of darkly aesthetic enchantment a grinning Totenkopf or swirling, hypnotic Hakenkreuz do.
Or they were just boneheaded.
The state of knowledge of these things decades ago was far less sophisticated than today. In the present one has numerous real examples of all pieces of SS regalia, posted by such numb skulls as myself and others, whereas in the past, the whole thing was more primitive. Such might strike our young, jaded readers here as odd, but the plentitude of today stands in starkest contrast to the past. Es ist halt so.
Some do not learn from what is right in front of them F-B.
Instead those that share their knowledge are given remarks as below when humor is used to wonder aloud why members do not check our in depth and detailed databases here and instead choose the fast food Is It Real postings of the most remedial of fakes. Perhaps yes, these treasures should be held in a more secretive posture as some here have no of intention of learning, and instead choose to wander the forests of fakery with their eyes closed to the maps laid out in front of them.
