It looks good to my eye. It's difficult to see the detail because there is no contrast between the background and the skull. Compare to my unmarked, looks the same except for the finish. These unmarked Deschler attributed skulls tend to be lighter or thinner with larger eyes and nose. Also the splints are soldered directly onto the back.

It's a fine unmarked skull.

Two types of unmarked Deschler exist.
The ones shown here with multiples and different types of prongs and the one without eyes and nose holes , always with that particular prong most early in my opinion.
Here are some in their black caps, as would correspond to these early skulls.

And here is one of these early rarities.

There is no proof that these unmarked 2nd pattern SS TK's are from Deschler & Sohn as far as i'm aware. The teeth are in my opinion very different from what we are used to seeing on the marked Deschler skulls.

a question for you
as we can show a proof that this skull is Deschler manufactured and not skull by Assmann marked Ges Gesch ?

I don't know if i fully understand your question, but i will try to give you an answer.

The exact same RZM stamp is also seen on this place on the early D.&S.M. Skulls by Deschler & Sohn. The attachments are placed the same and have a similar shape to that on the early Deschler skulls. I believe that if you turn it around to the front, It will show it has a Deschler look.

This skull you post above can't be compared to the OP specimen.
