SS Visor Hat Skull

[clestuff]

I know many feel the M 1/17 RZM code was not used on skulls. But, I have to say, if I saw this skull on a visor, and could not seethe back, I wouldn't question it. I have had several original and bad skulls but I am, in no way the expert many of our members are.

Never seen that kind of fresh and raw copper on any kind of period cupal piece. But sure, it's a nice attempt.

M1/17 .....
Never heard of that one
For me it appears to resemble a re worked SS373/43 but re numbered
A fake for sure

An absolute fake made from the old 360 front die. These have been discussed hundreds of times.

In the book ,,Inside the Allgemeine SS 1925-1945 " in the Chapter 25 -Badges this skull is posted as a reference second pattern skull.
I always wonder how it is possible

I think that it is an attempt to promote these fakes as original.
