Could you please post a close-up picture of the teeth on the M1/52 skull?

Thanks! Chris

I'll have a go :-

The eagle looks poorly formed and I'd say is wrong.
The first totenkopf looks like it could be OK.(it ain't Mr Moustachio anyway)
I don't know the second one but I don't like it (is it supposed to be a Zimmermann 41 ?).
The one in post #7 & 8 is cast is it not ? If so definately

I await correction from SS Collector Chris.

Cheers,Ian.

I agree with my UK colleague. The Deschler looks likely real to me, but it has also been cleaned to the nth degree as well as fiddled with via drilling, &c. Also, may I express solidarity with my British colleagues in this time of trial.

Thanks to all for the informations.

I can't have a better close up picture of the teeth, sorry.

Thanks for the extra pic. However, I believe that the M1/52 skull is a definite reproduction. The forehead is completely shaped and formed wrong,
as are the eye brows. It has the drooping "5" and the crossed bones
are horrible, (not just talking about the holes in them).
For example, look at the bottom edge of the lower left bone
on the picture of the reverse side, and you will notice
that the bottom edge is almost perfectly straight.
It should have a curve to it and the entire bone is too long.
The other pieces posted here have been mentioned many times and are
just low quality reproductions.

Best, Chris
