Deschler's MM

[cysior]

I was searching forum for this odd MM on skull but so far I didn't find match..

That is truly a rare variety. It struck me as odd the first time I noticed it on a Deschler skull too, as the M looks like an inverted W. However, there is no question about originality.

Here is the first one I ever saw (or at least noticed). There was another sold at this year's MAX show.

one of the harder to find deschler variety. i had been looking for this variant (with 2 pins and in good condition)for long, no luck yet. the same goes to 499/41 zinc and 254/42

Here is one of mine which I did not notice till Brad pointed it out to me at the MAX. I have had a few of these. I will also try to take better pics of the back soon!

Bill, your MM is typical raised or stamped..

No such thing on originals.

On the picture looks like stamped, at least for me that's why I asked

Sometimes photos can give that impression, but I have handled Bill's TK and I can tell you that it is original and has the proper raised markings.

Congratulations on your TK, by the way!

Best,

Deschler Aluminum

While at the Kassel show in Germany, I ran across a Deschler aluminum skull that was scooped out on the backside and had the RZM M1/52 marking on the center area of the bottom portion of the jaw. Does anyone have an example of this skull?
