Zimmerman Marked RZM 499/41 Skull from Ebay

This one seems fairly detailed, but the finish almost looks to me like it's been artificially aged. Any advice would be appreciated.

Fake, they didn't use round prongs.
This is also cast and file finished on the back.
Read old threads regarding these, and check out Aldo's fine examples.
Welcome to the forum.

Chris is right this is a common cast fake that is trying to imitate this version of a Zimmermann 499/41

I like how they slapped dark tones/make up on there to highlight cheekbones and such. A talented fake, something you would find at a Party City to wear on a costume. The case of the mulish mouth strikes again.

Thanks for all the advice. I knew something about that shading seemed off.
