These 3 edge prong style are controversial with some.
Have a read about them.

Ah ok. Every time I go in there, I hope to find a real Totenkopf, they've had some obvious fakes in but that's it. I actually explained this to a lady there, while looking at them- she said she knew nothing about any militaria, but was genuinely interested. I told her exactly how you could tell these particular examples weren't real. She said that the whole cabinet is owned by a dealer, and I guess it's a case of them not being all that knowledgeable on everything they acquire.
I also bought a fake eagle insignia from there once, but also returned it for a full refund without hassle. On the other hand, I've bought five other genuine items for good prices before!

Interesting. Never seen one with prongs like that before.
Oh no Nick your not starting down the road of skulls !!!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
