Re: Controversial SS cap skull: 3 edge prong design
These are a copy of the Assmann skull.
IMO these are fakes. I highly doubt a company as big as Assmann und Sohne would produce a crappy piece like this.

Re: Controversial SS cap skull: 3 edge prong design
Assmann made some pretty crappy late war badges. It wasn't the workmanship, but the quality of materials that suffered. If you look at the evolution of Assmann hinges and catches, you will see they were very interested in simplification and less soldering.
I think these are the final pattern Assmann skull, which saw very little use during the war, and were in surplus after the war. I would love to find a perfect example complete with all three prongs.

Interesting that first seen by me similar scull was from the Lenfilm film studio and found it as the SS TK collartab placed to blank black tab...

Re: Controversial SS cap skull: 3 edge prong design
Hi Ade,
I think that you have done well bargain Currently I have 2 skulls of 3 pronged skulls. One of those I have dug up by myself a couple of years ago , the other I bought at military show for 25eur. I think that 3 pronged skulls are rare - over 15 years spent on searching battlefields I have found only one piece among several 2 pronged Latvian types skulls and many common makers.
I do agree with Bob, and I believe that those 3 pronged skulls are late war Assmann as they come from the same die as Assmann zinc aloy skulls marked ges gesch.
Regards,
Blazej

I also believe these to be late wartime examples and have 2 in my collection.
