SS Skull, real or fake?

**ToxicGas** · 10-04-2011, 11:03 PM

I'm pretty certain it's fake too, but I think this one seems pretty convincing. I suppose it's a waste of time discussing detail when the photo quality is so bad, but from what I can see only the back gives it away with the prong mounts (which again, could be standard features of actual examples? I don't know). I compared it to photos of what are agreed to be genuine examples I collected from here. I clearly have some way to go with these things.

Can you expand on what you mean please? Are you questioning the skull being a fake?

Another Zimmermann in situ....there are many nice images of real "sculls" in this thread, and they are nicer when admired on a cap....

Both skulls psted on pics by Toxic Gas are fake.
This type of pins and tachments are common for fake skulls
No doubt.
