    Question Interesting Totenkompf skull

    Interesting Totenkompf skullInteresting Totenkompf skullGood morning everybody, I do a lot of research when it comes to collecting original World War II German memorabilia, but when I came across this skull I was surprised. For I cannot recognize the maker nor the production of this skull. I found it interesting that the actual information is pressed inside as opposed to risen. I have not purchased it however I have found it online for a pretty good price any opinions and information would be appreciated. M1/24 is the RZM.
    These pictures are not mine.

    That does not appear to be authentic Totenkopf, it may however, be an authentic Totenkompf skull.

    It’s a cast copy by the looks of it.

    Yes it's fake, save your money. This is an example of what a zinc Overhoff m1/24 TK should look like.

    I agree with Chris and Al, Ive never seen an m1/24 overhoff or any authentic tk with the maker marks recessed into the skull like that

    I had a hunch that it was a presumed fake, and with the information gathered here in this post was to solidify my assumptions. In some aspect about collecting this genre, in my opinion it seems to be just a little more satisfying once you obtain original memorabilia simply because there is just so many fakes, it’s such a game of knowledge.
