3 Prong Cap Skull

[Karl S.]

Hi,

I took a chance and bought this today at a decent price from a dealer friend. I realize this style is highly questionable but the seller said he got it direct from the Veteran himself.
I haven't seen any with a RZM mark either, and the detail looked fairly good to me.
Opinions appreciated.

Complete junk, sorry. I got burned on one of these before I started collecting.

Best, Chris

On a side note: any RZM marked piece should be accompanied with another identifying mark, (such as an RZM number, SS contract number, or maker marks).

Best, Chris

The only decent price for it is 0.0001$
Please try to return it as soon as possible

Yours is not highly questionable three-prong "assmann" design skull. Please check pictures in this thread:

Under $100 you paid ?? You have grossly overpaid I have to tell you. Your dealer "friend" is a crook. He got it from a "veteran",, ,I think not, what a liar. The facts: That stupid flat fake has been around for many. many years,- it is the exact junque skull as used to be sold by Delta International of Lafayette, CA, complete with that same RZM mark, & w/those same 3 edge pins that 9 times out of 10 will break off if you try to bend 'em. It is pictured in their old catalog, item #129, retail $5.50 with 40% off to dealers.

this little things are getting too expensive, and at times under-rated by some collectors. small they are, but important to the whole visor look

SS Gentleman,
Great Idea and great Design! I am afraid that the Publication maybe changes in that way:

I think this would be more appropriate.
