SS Metal Skull - Thoughts?

[josh105]

I have looked through the forum and found many different variations of these skulls so I thought I would also ask opinions!?

I read this thread: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=240462 and didn't seem to find anything that was marked like this, thus, I post here:

Hello joshlichty,
judging from the photos I would say a nice original!

D.&S.M. = Deschler & Söhne München
(Deschler and sons Munich)

Does anyone have more information on this type of skull?

I would really appreciate as I am having trouble finding further information about it.

All information would be appreciated either on the thread or as a PM.

Thanks!!

Hello,
here are more information - if my informations isn´t correct feel free to correct me

This skull was produced from D.&S.M. = Deschler & Sohn München (Deschler and son Munich). On the backside you can see the "older" manufacturer's mark.
The "newer" manufacturer's mark was M1/52.

I believe that the D.&S.M. manufacturer's mark on your skull was used the first time in 1934 (but I`m not sure).

Hope this will help you a little bit.

Regards Dagaz

So much interest has moved this to estand. I do not collect SS insignia at this stage in my collecting so I'm moving it along to someone much more interested :
