SS Adler für Schirmmütze (M1/52)

[Langemark]

Hello,

I have the opportunity to acquire some different SS metal cap eagles and Totenköpfe. Even if I am far from being an expert in SS metallic cap insignia I spotted some know fakes in the lot. On the other hand, I noticed a few other fine looking insignia and I would appreciate to have your opinion about these. I have read several interesting threads about SS cap eagles but didn’t manage to find the decisive answers.
(In order to avoid confusion in the comments, I will start a new thread for each eagle)

Thank you for your help,
Mark

Close-up on the marking (the “52” is not clearly readable as it seems to have been covered with the excess of soldering used to affix the prongs)

Echt und sehr selten!

Bravo on a rare piece.

Thank you All for the good news. I had a good feeling about it but in the same time I was somewhat intrigued by the unusual full double-circled RZM marking ? (see close up below)

Donald, I didn’t know this type was that rare but this is probably why I didn’t find any information about it ?

Best,
Mark

Seltenheit

I think one finds the Totenschaedel from Munich more than the Hoheitsadler. However, there is so much about these things that is mysterious, even after thirty-eight years of this stuff. I wish I could find these things with some ease.
