The made in China tag should be somewhere in there...

This one is not made in China.

It's an Alteste Berliner fake, a rather late one. I believe it was Dr. Breuer from Studio Breuer who had these made up. So i believe they are actually German made. Still not real though.

Thanks, did not think it had a chance..

would like to hear from STONEMINT on this one ..is skull early fake also?

[billbert]

I don't believe this skull was ever on an Altesse Visor when created..added later..JMHO Billbert

[clestuff]

Skull is a bad fake [and not early]. Sorry, whole thing is recent repro.

[Winkelman]

Alteste visors usually came with a set of original latewar Assmann insignia , which by now have been removed .
This metal skull is quite a recent fake , but ;
Exactly the same cheap one as seen in the Imperial War Museum itself .. !

Yes, it is a textbook Alteste.
Skull is not original to it--it probably had the 3-prong Assmann skull.

I agree

Classic Alteste fake with a much more recent bright-plated fake of the Overhoff design skull.
