SS skull 5/8?

One again: No!


No, i didnt have a clue about this 5/8. And the seller advertised it as 100 % orginal and asked for £160 who is a ok prize for a orginal skull! So lucy for me I had this forum with expertise on skulls!

the 5/8 is a fantasy-item
that type of "skull' or Ape, existists also with other markings like e.g.

RZM M1/122 ---> here the has the faker use a 'correct' contract-number to put on. Not like the 5/8. I personally saw this type of skull just on visors for films and theatratical purposes.

Also, that "skull" goes always together with a so called 'pigeon-fake' eagle, mostly marked with: RZM 40
RZM 41
M1/40 etc.

I just saw that there's a new thread AGAIN with that fake.

yes, the 5/8 is a very ugly fantasy skull. Glad I took the time in this forum/searching first..if not I probably would have had a ugly copy in my collection. Thanks folks!
