Hello,

I agree, a reproduction. Interesting that you have owned it since the 1960s.

Yes, I thought they dated to well after that ... very late 70's would be my guess.


The pattern is definitely fake anyway.

Fake TK

Hi Ian,

I was thinking it was a 1970s fake too. The first documented appearance I have found of this skull is in the book SS Regalia, which came out in June 1974.
It was my first book on collecting. This fake made it into the book as being an original. Maybe the fake did come out in the 1960s? The early fakes are interesting to me.
