[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi, RZM code M1/24 is Overhoff & Cie., Lüdenscheid.

Cheers, Ade.

[Banzi64]

Thanks Adrian

[SScollector]

Unfortunately, Overhoff didn't make that one.

[Banzi64]

Are you trying to say this a repro?

[SScollector]

Yes, it is most certainly a reproduction. The pin attachments are horrible, the materials are incorrect for this style skull and most importantly, the front side picture shows 100%, that it was not struck by Overhoff's dies, but is instead, just another casting.

Best, Chris

[Banzi64]

I think you are incorrect

[SScollector]

Well, you are certainly entitled to you own opinion.

[Donald Abenheim]

Na bitte

Well, you are certainly entitled to you own opinion.

A generalization that applies to us all. Perhaps my colleague here would kindly furnish an image of what he considers to be an authentic Overhoff badge of this kind for the innocent seeker of truth? Or, please direct us to a germane image of same wherever that might be.

[John T]

It looks like the pins are cast in and not crimped in.

[Banzi64]

pin close-up
you can see it is crimped then soldered

[ReichsHeini]

Sorry that is a fake tk. If you compare the front to ANY real Overhoff you will see it is a completely differnt face and the pins are wrong too!
Just do a search for some m1/24 skulls and you will see that this one is not real.

Yes, this one is a fake. Here is yours flanked by two originals. The ends of the bones are a quick place to see some of the many differences.

[Gary Wood]

I think you are incorrect

No chris is not, this TK is a cast fake

cheers
