Need help on this particular SS skull.
I cant make out the RZM number and cant do a search on it.
Your learned opinions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Deschler 100%

Guys, thank you.
I did a search on the Dreschler pieces.
I'd like to confirm if this is indeed a good piece as i understand that the M1/52 has been highly reproduced.

Thank you,

Your example looks fine, probably painted recently however. That can easily be fixed.

[Military]

Thanks Peter.
Just had to be cautious of the M1/52 pieces.

Cheers,

the marking should look like the above. Peter could be right, it looks like a cupal piece but with zinc-like front painted silver finish??

[Military]

Tang, thanks for your input.

Does the RZM need to have a dual circle?

Does the RZM need to have a dual circle?

Certainly in a Deschler skull it should, but some may be faint.

Nice one. It could also be original painting.
I have a Cupal Zimmermann that also looks like it had been painted yesterday, but was war-time done.

Im more concerned about the form of the skull as i understand the 52's been one of the more reproduced pieces, but you guys have assured me its been ok.
