3 SS panzer/totenkopf skulls, original or bad fakes?

[Discostu]

Hi all,

I was recently offered a large collection of German and Canadian items- unfortunately, the collection is absolutely riddled with fakes-these skulls were in there too- I just want to confirm if these are real or not, though I am guessing the two skulls are fake and the other has a small chance? Please don't laugh if they are crude, I am still learning!

Many thanks as always!

The 2nd pattern skull is a I don't 'do' 1st pattern but don't like the pins (or lack there-of)

Hello Discostu,
the upper skull is a fake (wrong marker, bad quality).
Can`t comment the other "earlier" skulls, but from my feeling I would pass.

Regards,

Many thanks guys! The unfortunate thing is that the buyer paid a lot for everything, now I have to give him the bad news
