Solid Aluminum Cap Insignia

[carlsson1982]

Das een heel intressante Tk. Nog nooit gezien.

I never saw that skull. The front looks like the Austrian 80's skull fakes, that mostly are marked with "ss 360/.." ,but the back is very intresting...

I believe the used the same face die and just changed the reverse die to alter the marks and pin attachment appurtanances.

Or maybe the other way around, who knows..

Luc,

Yours isn´t original unfortunately

[Luc]

but why would they make a so "called copy" of a skull that never existed..?
very strange...

Lots of fakes use numbers and styles which never originally existed. It makes it impossible to compare it with a known original.

Luc ,

it took a lot of guts to remove it from your visor ( maybe also showing it here ) , but I hope you're convinced now ..

IMO the M1/17 marking on this one is RARELY found & somewhat dangerous , since if this skull tries to MIMIC anything , it is an Assmann .
But simply lacks their defining characteristics - size of triangle in cranium suture , nose edge , and were never marked M1/17 like their eagles .
It is however , identical to the infamous 1980's series .. !
