SS Insignia Skull

**Normandie** · 03-17-2013, 06:49 PM

I saw this SS skull for sale on an auction site (norwegian).
Stated it is original. I compared it to one of Friedrich Berthold's SS Caps, and to be honest, I believe it is a good one.
Though I did not see the back of one of the SS skulls he got, so please, help me out here.
I am not sure about the price for it, it's not in the best shape so the seller wants 60£ now (Prob go to 100-120£ in the end of the action, my guess is if it's real).

Regards
Normandie

If you look on the whacko site, there are alu. Overhoff badges there, and I will let you decide, in fact. I cannot claim any subtle expertise in these, other than owning a lot of Deschler ones on caps.
I do not own any caps with an alu. Overhoff badge, in fact.

Hi Normandie.
In my opinon not orginal.
But it is just my opinion and Im not a expert

The more I look at your badge, the more it looks cast to me on the reverse, and ergo a fake, but I cannot really tell.
These badges, even in lousy shape, are quite expensive. Sixty Pounds is not expensive at all.
I will defer to the 'scull' experts, which I am really not at all.

The savants on the lords of the flies site seem to think this object is real, and perhaps it will help you.

Im not sure this object posted above is authentic Overhoff
Here is back of two variants of Overhoffs pls compare to another ones
As you see on the pins are visible two or three cuts
