    Metal SS Insignia..Opinions please

    I've seen these ss cap insignia and have no idea if they are real or not.

    The photos arent the best, and i will try to get closer ones.

    But can anyone give a good guess as to whether these are fake or not?

    Thanks in advance.

        The eagle is a fake. I don't study that style of skull, so I can't comment on it.

            Agreed, the 'ageing' appears to be the same, the thin pins look like those on the cheap fake skulls abound in the UK mid-70's.

                        I guess you are right to make absolutely sure, so as to not risk any possibility of walking away from an original, but believe me, that eagle is crap. I knew it from the first photo.

                            The skull seems to lack the detail found on originals. Example shown..

                              Skull

                              The skull also appears to be cast, instead of stamped, and the silver wash extends onto the prongs. Not what I like to see. Still possible it's original, as many variations of these early skulls exist, but I'd still vote NO on this one.
