M1/52 review

**Jangofret** · 10-26-2018, 02:29 AM

Found this one and it’s tricky. My only concerns are the positioning of the angled slash and thinness of the maker’s mark in comparison to the pic below. The front also doesn’t quite have the roundness on the top teeth row and left cheekbone that I have seen in the many M1/52’s posted on this site, but that may be due to wear. As always, any help is appreciated.

I think it's a good one, good detail to the reverse, correct attachment of the prongs.
But please wait for other opinions.

I do not like it at all - it is riddled with tiny casting flaws ( in and above teeth , above right crossbones , etc. ) .

Also , an " 800 " silver marking ( rim of bottom jaw ) is always a sign of trouble ..!

Good eye I missed the 800 mark on the lower jaw line. That alone would make me walk away. Best regards.

You guys are awesome. I appreciate it. Yeah, if there are any doubts and a consensus, best to abort mission. Thank you all for the productive information and advice.

Also, just wanted to reiterate my appreciation for you folks on the forum. I just donated 30 dollars because you guys just saved me a few hundred! Unmarked Deschler from previous post will be the next purchase, not this skull. Thank you all!

I’m using my iPad and the link is blocked by a search box. I’ll figure it out how to do that. Thanks for letting me know.

I didn't see the 800 either, I stand corrected. Sorry for the mistake.

I'll be the first to admit that I am clueless when it comes to these skulls.
I actually like the looks of this one and was hoping it was real.

I like the tarnished gold tone of this one compared to some of the silver ones
I have seen.
