ss skull "Assmann" Cupal

[elmatzo]

Helllo...

Need some help with this skull. Is it a original "Assmann" Cupal skull?

This is a three-prong skull that has been converted into a standard style skull.

Okay... But it's a original one?

[SScollector]

The general consensus is that these are of French origin. I personally cannot say 100% for sure, but you can do a search and find lots of threads about these and hopefully make up your own mind.

Your nice skull from link is typical zink version of Assman skull witch Ges Gesch markings.
This posted here is strange.
Someone cut prongs or they just broke and attached Assman style round prongs.
For me this skull is not CupAl made.
Anyway interested and neverending story about orginality.
P.S This is my personal opinion and of course I could be wrong.
Recently I made mistake witch Zimmerman skull.
What a shame
