SS Totenkopf für Schirmmütze (499/41)

[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 insignia 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 item)

Thank you for your help,
Mark

I have one like this with very similar corrosion or dreck on it.

Thank you Doc and Chris for confirming the authenticity of this Totenkopf.
Donald, I hope your example has the two prongs still intact !
Best,
Mark

Thank you, the piece is on a black cap, actually. It is an OR/NCO Sonderanfertigung from the Glachau/Sachsen cap maker.
