Thank you all! I am ecstatic! I hate asking for values, but seeing as SS items are way out of my knowledge range I need some help and I am in the process of selling this so I can buy an M35 Normandy camo...I tried searching the forum, but couldnt find any values that werent 5+ years old. What would be a fair market value price for this piece?

Thank you again for the kind comments and any values!

I too agree with Chris ...
But whether or not you'll get that that's a another matter
Prices have dropped and people aren't spending the money as far as I can see

Were the earlier Deschlers made of brass and silver finished?

This came out of the box lot you may be able to see the belt buckles behind the skull in the blurry background.. he wanted to sell the lot as a whole but would sell me the "tinnie" out of it..I should've bartered for more stuff..

Also, thank you to all who contributed pictures, and the price estimates. I am learning very quickly since I started frequenting this forum!

So prongs on disks on these zinc deschelrs can be bare metal like on the two below and with some finish like on the one that started this thread?
