SS skull button - is it real?

[John W. Krueger]

I would sincerely appreciate any opinions as to the authenticity of this button. I don't have it in hand, but the seller says there are markings on the reverse side. Thanks, John



P.S. - I have recently contributed to the WAF Forum an interesting thread on an “out of the woodwork” Police Officer's sword with SS pommel I picked up. See the Daggers and Edged Weapons forum.

Cast fake with incorrect representation of a skull that is not even close to accepted originals.

I agree, a very bad casting.

The most common (and obvious) fake doing the rounds for the past few years.
