Well done
All the best

Thank you.
I think this badge is a bit different. Yes, of course, it´s a Deschler 1/52, but ,,CupAl´´. That one on ebay was made of Zink...
I am not expert in this area, but one of more experienced collectors in this thread formerly wrote the common market price for this skull is about 1.000-1.200 dollars...

Thank you again for your comment.

Best regards

zinc is harder to find & "rare" compared to others.. per experts! i think reasonable price for yours would be in the $500-800 range.

[SScollector]

$500.00 - $800.00? Maybe a few years behind? It would be nice though.

Gian,

Look closely to the number of the back of the skull.. Not an average skull

I agree with Chris, those were the days...

Hi
Deschler Skull marking RZM 254/42 is one of the more rare Skulls?
Wich are the other rare marking?
And the most rare is S.P.40 in Alluminium?
Naturally for the advanced collectors!
Thanks Nederlander!
