Hello all,

Actually appears to be a cast copy of a known reproduction.

any reason?

Truly, this one is not even the slightest bit close to looking like an original...at all.

Asking for a reason this one is a fake is a bit like asking for a reason that a horse does not look like a cow. However, you need look no further than that bogus number, which was never used on originals.

Whoever PMed yu that was wrong. SS markings do appear on some original eagles. They do not appear on any original skulls.

Seriously, there is SO much wrong with this one, I wouldn't know where to start. It looks NOTHING like an original. I suggest that you spend some time studying a lot of old threads until you can start to see some of the obvious differences yourself. Until this one becomes obviously wrong to you too, anything we could try to tell you would only make matters worse for you (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing). For your own sake, don't buy anything else until you have a much better understanding of what you are doing.
