It's been a strange day - but both items shown are indeed fake ..
No, not all original Overhoff skulls had teeth details on the reverse. [This TK is, of corrse, still fake]
No, zinc insignia are not always more rare than CupAl. It varies by maker and style. For some styles by certain makers, examples in zinc are quite uncommon, but in other styles by other makers, zinc examples are by far the most common. Also, rarity does not always translate into value. Certainly, in some cases, an extremely rare zinc style may command a higer price than a CupAl piece by the same maker. However, as a gereral rule, CupAl pieces are far more desireable and valuable than zinc and solid aluminum more desirable and valuable than CupAl.
Unfortunately, less experienced collectors often tend to latch onto one small piece of information and incorrectly extrapolate from that to make sweeping--and incorrect--conclusions about broader issues within this complex area of study/collecting.
