SS skull markings

[militarymania]

do original skulls have the SS-RZM & m1/# (373/43?)all at once?....I was under the impression that Original Skulls were never marked w/the "SS" runes,,,,

You are correct. Runes are not found on skulls.

This assumption is incorrect. I and other collectors have vet found skulls with ss markings that are and were wartime manufactured originals. My particular skull is highly faked, but it's marked RZM ss(runes) 380/40 , as are the fakes, but there are differences.(I don't know of any with m1 numbers though)
I see this subject come up over and over about ss runes on skulls, and the pat answer is always that it never was ever used on ANY skulls, which is not 100% correct. Much of the refusal to yield to the evidence I presented is that lots of folks who still subscribe to this fallacy is nobody wants to admit when they have made an error publicly.
It was on certain skulls, I.E.: the aluminum types so respectfully as much as bob is usually correct it is , and has been found that this opinion that none ever had runes has been proven by me on a previous thread, and there are advanced collectors who also know what I have stated is true , although many refuse to consider the evidence or go against the popular misconception to discover the truth, I assure you what I posted is true. As Ripley said, believe it or not.
Just because someone has a large collection and is respected as an ss collector, but never found one from the veteran first hand with runes , does not mean it was never so, or that they never make mistakes, or know everything there is to know about everything relating to ss skulls.
My proof seems to anger many here , but it's more important to pay attention to the evidence when found first hand, and to think for yourself as our main purpose here is to seek the truth, and learn from one another. So if you search the thread its there to be reviewed.
This is not found in any skull books written by many so called skull experts, and on many skulls these authors do know a lot about many skulls, but until this is corrected by an author with some cajoles to straighten out the misconception, anyone who writes this assumption that there were never any ss runes on any skulls ever....is not telling it all, and has missed the target completely in fact.
Nothing personal bob, nor to anyone else who is not a believer, but as in all books on these subjects change and new facts are found , the day will come that this inaccurate assumption will eventually be corrected.
I am the first to have ever provided unrefutible proof, regardless of how the majority is lead around assuring everyone what they believe is the gospel truth.
Before you condemn , revisit the thread, and continue to seek out others who are also big collectors who have found actual examples like I have stated I personally found first hand , then decide. Of course if you are not in the club here , like obviously I am not,but care just as much that truth is always a priority, it's easy for those big boys to refute the truth, and make light of folks like me who believe the truth will eventually be accepted. Now jeer all you want, but remember to do so is a lick on you,not me. I weather the storm in the name of truth, and remember to believe no runes were ever used on skulls will make many miss good skulls they otherwise would have found but there are differences between the repros and the real deal examples, so one must exercise caution when buying skulls with ss runes, my thread explains in more detail of what to look for on originals.
