SS Totenkopf Mützenabzeichen

[kane11]

Dear All

Are these two SS Totenkopf Insignias real or fake?

Can you please help me?

I marked them with Number 1 and Number 2.

Thank you very much for your help!!!!

Best Regards!!!!

#2 is a relic ground dug Overhoff skull (authentic)
#1 appears to be a reproduction Overhoff, wrong attachment type, no markings, poor detail

Here are few of my Overhoff skulls for reference

[Aldo]

This is an example of a fake Overhoff that sold last year on a reputable website.......

It appears to be the same type of fake as #1 in your photo




THIS THREAD SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE :SS METAL CAP INSIGNIA FORUM

that typical fake can have some nice patina sometimes because it's a 50's-60's copy
