Hi Merdock, your SS deathshead cap badge (button) is a nice original. I have one myself, but mine is not the same maker as yours.
Cheers, Ade.

I agree with Ade...

...completely, Merdock! As I have one too, and it also is from a different maker. Mine came in a box of goodies from a vet. I had
another years ago but I sold it - and it is almost a miracle that
I got another. This one I don't sell. I'm older and wiser now!

Merdock,
Nothing wrong with your example I have a couple with that maker marking,
cheers,
Gary
