Assman skull for sale - genuine?

[SweCollector]

Hello gentlemen.

I don't suppose this alleged Assman TK that's currently for sale on an internet auction site is genuine? I cant seem to find any similar ones here for reference... Just a gamble, if you would be so kind...

Hi, it's a fake, plus 5/8 is a fantasy mark.

Never seen this mark on any original before. The suture lines on the dome are also a tell-tale it is a fake.

Is fake, 5/8 is a fantasy maker mark, has never existed before 1945. In our forum here there is a very good thread about skulls and eagles.
You can see which maker mark existed before 1945.
