    HELPFUL IDENTIFICATION MATERIAL

    SS METAL INSIGNIAS

    The list below is intended to list all of the 'known' skull ¹ and metal visor eagle ² markings and their makers where they have been identified. This list is subject to change and should not be completely relied upon for a final determination of a good (or fake) item. Please do use it as an intial checklist only. Further advice regarding a piece in my opinion is a must ; which will benefit everyone in the long run.

    Some thoughts:

    The unmarked skull usually attributed to Deschler is just that (attributed to Deschler). There is no evidence that it was made by Deschler, and, in fact, there are some distinct differences between these and ALL other Deschlers, which lead us to believe that it was actually made by someone else, as yet unknon.

    I am not aware of a GES. GESCH. Deschler without the RZM mark.

    Of the Deschlers which are marked RZM GES. GESCH., I am not certain that there were both a version with periods and one without periods. Rather, I tend to believe that some simply have less detail (due to worn dies), leaving the periods difficult or impossible to see.

    I have seen no evidence that an original M1/17 Assmann skull ever existed. I would remove it from the list, rather than calling it unconfirmed.

    You have the 155/36 Assmann eagle listed twice; I believe you meant for the second to be the 155/38.

    I would call the E.S. PF. (no period between the P and F, by the way) unknown, but not unconfirmed. I believe there is now adequate evidence to confirm its originality, even though the maker is as yet only speculation.

    Best,
    Brad

    Hi, could anyone tell me if the ES PF skulls exist or not please?

  7. #6

    Default

    No , they do not exist as originals .
    They turned up some years ago , but are in fact reproductions of the Overhoff type skull .
    And indeed the same type fake can be found marked M1/24 , note the wrong type attachments on both .
