There are many points that I do not like about that skull. I have seen this skull made of other materials too, (and with other markings). Here are some of the bad points, IMO.

As you can see here, someone has been trying to get this right.

John T,
Your skull is 100%. Nice
Chris,
I do not own one, but almost purchased one 2 yaers ago at the Kassel show from Peter Jenkins. The only problem was, the pins were missing and the pin mounts were really messed with. In other words, it was beyond anything I could restore, so I passed. The skull Peter J. has was aluminum, just like John T's. There was absolutely no doubt in my my mind the skull Peter had was real, as is John T's.

I remember the SSBW site had an alluminum Deschler with no pins and alot brown glue type residue in the pin recesses. I recall it having RZM over 52 behind the teeth. I could be mistaken but I just dont recall the M1 prefix on the one I saw and it could be a different skull altogether than the one Peter recalls.

I like the John T. Deschler also

Well, I must respectfully agree to disagree here, but here are the photos of the skull that was for sale by Peter J. sometime ago. As was stated, it is void of the "M1/" prefix.

Here is the reverse, (note the lack of ridges around the eyes and nose holes).
Also, as was stated, the prong attachments were messed with, to the point of no return.

Yes that is Peter Jenkins skull. The one I pondered over. Interesting that the mark is devoid of the M1. That makes 2 variations. Both skulls are real IMO, 100%. I have no doubt or reservation / hesitation about it. As far as the subject skull of this thread, I do not care for it.

Hi Chris

Just to be clear, in your opinion was the aluminium skull for sale by peter jenkins an original.

Also would the lack of the "m1" markings indicate this to have been a very early produced skull (maybe around the d&sm and 52 skulls era?).
