MY Totenkomp & Eagle Set, PLEASE HELP Authenticating***

[HarleyTusk]

This is my set that I bought about 6 months ago from a guy who I would consider reputable for $1,200.

MARKINGS: Death Head: RZM Logo, M1/24 "800" Stamp
Eagle: ES & PF With "800" Stamp on inside of left wing.

PLEASE any information you can share would be appreciated!
Is this set 100% Authentic?

Thank you,

Robert

From now on you can search the site or post here so you won’t get ripped again. I would try and get your money back from this guy if not let everyone know who it was. Vince

SS insignia isn't my area of collecting, what makes the skull bad? It looks really good to my untrained eye, these reproduction pieces are one reason I do not collect SS items ...too expensive to make a mistake and too many fakes.

You just have to familiarize yourself with the details of known originals. It’s all about the details. Two skulls or birds may look exactly the same at a glance, but in fact there can be many differences between them. Skull/bird details, markings, finishes, die flaws, prong attachment points/methods etc. It just takes an investment of some time to study.
