          Sorry to disagree, but this one is a nickel-plated zinc eagle that is really minty. These are earlier than the later, painted eagles.

          There were aluminum ones and those are extremely rare.
          Here is a photo. Note: the different prongs, prong attachments, and the location of the "SS".
          You will also find that the pebbling around the swastika on the front side is different on the aluminum ones.

                      I have never seen a nickel-plated SS skull, so I think that they probably wore these with the silver-plated SS skulls. Hard to say for sure.

                            That one appears to be one of the later painted ones. Very nice condition.
