Ges Gesch skull

Thank you guys for all your opinions

The skull is absolutely fake, IMO. Here are a few things. Notice this thick edge and the edge flaws that I have pointed out. Besides these things, there is pitting all over the skull. An original would never have this finish, IMO.

The skull is fake but ground-dug items can often have that finish too especially after acid treatment. Couple original examples below

Yes, that's what I was thinking. I've seen the same look on cylinder heads that have been acid cleaned.

SS colector pointed metal flaws as one from the reason to recognice as fake
And this is correct ! !
Ground dug if is orginal never have metal flaws
Chemical procesing is different thing.
Metal flaws also never will apears in ground .
They are produced by bad people

again it is a zinc skull you are showing but the skull that started this thread is not zinc. Assman made these skulls from: 1.zinc, 2. cupal, and 3. aluminium. The base metal visible on the bone is red (copper) so this means the skull in question is made from cupal. Original CupAl skulls by Assman are very rare and the only picture of original example that I found (below) has bare copper on the reverse

maybe knowing the weight of each one ,could help....

Then you did not find this one .. ?
Admitted , it is a sorry wreck of a skull - but it is original Cupal . I think 2 or 3 others are known also , worldwide that is ..
