SS-dead head

[ww2.collector]

hi i am new in the WAF
im from germany and i have a question about the following item, i hav ask in the german forum but not a god answer.



I have this TK has an eternity to me, whether it is original is my question, yes or whom to assign to which it is the manufacturer.


I can not say whether the SS Death's Head is original, denoch it seems to me to have potential, just not 100% my collection area.

So now even the shape he is made of nickel silver, two pins made of nonferrous metal, a (marked in color!) neuverlöted and I have tried damlas a manufacturer logo
Einzukrazen (OLC, so Overhoff)(so marked), which is not apparent from the front, he is from meien first few days, got him once irgendo at the flea market in a Kramkiste for very very little.


So, in case more pictures are needed please say what!

Overhoff & Cie marked their SS cap skulls with the RZM mark M1/24 not OLC.

That piece in the link is not an original, looks like a cast fake to me.

I am totaly ignoring the markings in my post. The issue is that the item shows traces of cast manufacture, that, in my mind, is the kiss of death.

Das Stück zeigt Spuren von einer Gussherstellung; schwache Details und die typischen Pünktchen auf der Oberfläche, die man bei Originalen nicht findet.

Originale wurden geprägt, nicht gegossen.

Here it is the same answer, a fake.

PS: Bis jetzt habe ich noch immer keine Ahnung, warum der Totenkopf markiert werden sollte?
