Deschler RZM 52 TK - genuine?

[SweCollector]

Hello again, gentlemen.

From the research I've made here on this forum this Deschler(?) TK looks genuine enough to me. I really like the patina. Would you agree that it's genuine?

Also: what literature on specifically SS metal insignia would you recommend, for a guy with to much time on his hands?

Best regards and a big thanks in advance

Very nice original!

The book from Andrew Reznik "SS Metal Cap Insignia 1935-1945" is not to expensive and readily available.

It is so far i know the only one that specifically aims for metal SS TK insignia and eagles.

I'm sure someone here can advise you on a more wider range of SS insignia book that is more up to date then the ones i know of.
