Unmarked Skull found - MINT ..

[Arran]

This is obviously a wartime copy of the popular Deschler tk , the nose and teeth show difference

I'm not so sure its wartime...I always figured earlier c. 1934-35. You feel these are "post" rather than "pre" RZM?

Skull

Possibly the very first Deschler model IMO.

My feeling is they're closely related to the unmarked examples with the filled-in eyes and nose, which are sometimes painted black...
