I have the same feelings .
My 499/41 skull has diffrent prongs , flat ones.
Brad, do original 499/41 skulls have also such versions of prongs?
Zimmermann skulls were made using two different styles of pins, but both were flat. There were top/bottom horizontally crimped pins, which were longer and cut at a diagonal to form an offset point, and there were conically (round) crimped pins, which were shorter and tapered from both sides to form a center point.
This cast fake is trying to replicate the latter style, but the faker used incorrect round pins, which were just soldered, not crimped.
