    M1/52 SS Deschler Skull Cap Insignia - Authentic?

    Please help.
    I was offered this SS cap insignia.
    These are the best photos I could get from the seller.
    Can you tell me whether it is authentic?

    In my opinion this skull is fake.

      It is an earlier Deschler TK with the '52' in the left lower corner.
      The later types do have the prongs on the discs.
      Never saw it with this earlier type but I have a good feeling on this one.
      He really looks good IMO and I don't think this is a fake skull.
      Could be a transitional TK from older type with 52 in the corner to the newer TK with the discs.

            But first sorry about my language.
            Couple main things:
            Wrong alloy for this period of time but gut aloy to ease make gut copy
            Overal front,,face,,is to soft due to improper alloy and stamping process
            Number 52-numbers are to slim and never saw number 2 little below 5 on orginals
            Also whole position of this number is strange
            RZM stamp-very poor accuracy.
            As you wrote never saw disc on this type of scull and the end of prongs should be straight
            There are main things.
            Also couple small thins are also visible but you know my language.......

            Summary for me is fake but of course as a Human I could be wrong

              Here are a few better photos.
              I think part of the problem is that these photos are very big and it distorts the detail in the object.
              I could be wrong but I figured I would post these last 2 pics which are smaller and in better light.

                I think this is very odd, I have one that I just sold to John T, which I mailed Saturday to him, and now this one is being offered, and what strikes me as funny is the same wear and age, I vouch 1000% that I shipped the one I am posting in my pics here to John on Saturday, so who ever is offering this to u mist have one that is nearly identical in looks and wear, or is just flat out lying, whats the story here??? I am anxious to clear this all up myself. cause John thinks I am screwing him now, so whats your side here???

                      The skulls are original, (prongs possibly replaced), but the eagle is a well known repro.
