Welcome to the forum.

I recommend running a few searches and reading older threads as a good starting point. You will find some excellent references like these which should show you to stay clear of the number you are asking about:

Hi,

Here is a link to a "D.&S.M. GES.GESCH." marked skull:

"5/8" is not found on originals.

5/8 from dealer

A well known MAX dealer has offered a 5/8 skull and an unmarked eagle to me, waiting for the pictures at this time. But from what is being referenced here amongst the collectors, why wouldn't a well known MAX dealer be aware of this 5/8 scandal. Makes ya wonder ... is money everything to a dealer? Chris thank you for the reference, my search didn't come up with that thread for some reason. Is the D.&S.M. GES.GESCH faked as well?

Thanx,
IAT

I can only remember seeing one fake D&SM skull, but yes, they have been
faked, if only a few. The one fake that I saw wasn't very good.
The D&SM is probably the rarest SS skull variation.

Best,
Chris
