Hello,

This one doesn't match exactly to the original shown in the forum.
So, I suspect it's a fake...

If it's a fake - then it's a pretty good effort.

That's what I thought ...
But if it is then its probably a casting issue maybe ???

OK, from the PM I have received, it seems I could be wrong about this one..
So, more opinions from experienced collectors are welcome

This aluminum variation is the very best style of "S.P.40" skull that one could ever find, IMO. Anyway, it is 100% original and very rare.
Also, a very expensive skull. Congratulations!

Also, notice the superb detail in the teeth. Probably the most "3D" teeth on any SS skull type ever made. One of my very favorites.

Thank you Chris ....
I can see that the fakes teeth are all over the place
Is that correct ?

You could say that. Of course, there are numerous other flaws, including the darker color of the material.

Best,

Hello David,

The skull was not cheap, but I obtained it for a medium price I would say
for an alu SP40 skull...
