Definately fake Assmann skull ... the eagle's in BAD company so more than likely also fake.

I think these look like reproductions of reproductions.

I agree. I wanted to see the marks and hardware to see if this is a new or older generation.

Thanks you guys for yor input and to think that this dealer claims no repos and 40 years of collecting. Do you think he just does not know better. David

That would pretty much depend on which dealer you are talking about. But that topic probably belongs in a different forum at this point.

For any business to make a claim that they only sell authentic items, the dealer should be VERY knowledgable. Unfortunately, many dealers are only knowledgable on certain items, just like collectors. The claim to only sell authentic items has an up side, in that if it's deemed otherwise by a reasonable consensus (such as on this forum), you shouldn't get any argument when returning it. Some dealers know and don't care, some don't know and don't care, and a few don't know and DO care. Most of know by now which statement applies to which dealer.
