Early Deschler & Sohne Totenkopf RZM 52

[another ant]

This skull is very interesting, I have found some authentic of this same type rzm52 in the archive to compare.



they have even imitated the bent metal of the originals.




the grooves on the back have also been made with precision, imagine if the excess material residue bumps and swirls on the back was not made by cast cause , maybe something different ?



even the nose and the eyes imperfections have been imitated.



here we have the comparison of the brands



Luckily in the prongs it is revealed , impossible that the progs are original repair or that you can see remains of some broken original prong underneath, right?



It almost looks like an original modified to look like a copy, but that would be ridiculous.
As said before this is dangerous fake it could easily fool anyone.

Excellent analysis! You make a compelling argument based on the comparison of the originals. I suppose that it is possible the bumps and swirls are not cast residue but perhaps a chemical reaction between the metal and the applied finish. In either case it's a good thing the prongs reveal the truth.
