SS cap skull and eagle

[stavlot]

Hello from Grafschaft near Bonn and Cologne in Germany. I`ll show you two items of my collection and I will read what you think about them. First ist a thin SS skull, unmarked - Iam nearly shure that he is original so it comes from the children of a veteran. He was Obersturmführer and he worked at stuffs (in german: Stäbe). He gets his first real combat at the end of the war. He fought in Belgium in Dez. 1944 (battle of the bulge) and later in hungary where he was killed in action.I bought the two items and nearly a hundred of fp letters for a proud price.
Please tell me what you think about the items. Here if have only one back foto of the eagle, but iI try to post the frontside next.

Sorry about my english, best regards

s..t, iam not able to show my fotos

Unfortunately, these are reproductions. The skull is a well known, die struck reproduction made from postwar made dies and are sold everywhere for about $5.00 I have seen these being used in several new movies and TV shows. I have several myself.

The front side of these skulls highly resemble Overhoff's original skull pattern, but there are many differences, other than the fact that the back side is completely wrong and that they are too thin.

The eagle looks like the classic "pigeon head" fake.

Best, Chris

Hello chris,

first thank you about your opinion. To be shure I would like to send you some highly detailed pictures about my items as PM. Perhaps I will take them tomorrow - Iam still at work. Is that OK so far?
It would be bad if you are right cause a well respekted dealer in germany sold me fakes together with original FP letters and incl. expertise. So I would try to change the deal, he gave me a garantie about originality.

Wonder how long this'll last when we find out who the 'well respekted dealer in germany' actually is !

Hi,

I need no further pictures of the skull. I would like to see the front side of the eagle to be 100% sure on it. You can send pictures to my E-mail address here: FleetMac11@aol.com
