Sorry guys, I jumped the gun on this one. It is in fact, a reproduction and was posted on another thread with better photos. Sorry for the mistake.

Wow Chris...

if this is a reproduction, then it's a very very good one which will fool lot of collectors. Very dangerous to say the least and I can understand why you wouldn't go into detail here.
What convinced me was not only the nice and typical Overhoff appearance but also the brass remnant of the right prong.
You can even see one of the plie cuts in it...

Maybe these pics will help.

Even on first posted photo skull looks like has third row teeth .
Despite many visible casting artefacts.

When I first looked at it I felt the backside looked rough like it had been buried but the front still had silver wash , but then so many stamped their approval on it I figured why stick my neck out . Good photos are paramount.

Peter, please look for other Overhoff TK's on the internet and you will find plenty other examples with a third row of teeth...!
I'm still convinced this is a good TK.

Yes I agree witch you -sometimes we almost see third row.
But here this ,,third row" is so deep witch strange shape.
Maybe this is due to photo angle and pisc distortion.
Well......to be honest those zinc Overhoffs witch plane back(no teeth on reverse) are nigtmare for me

All the best for you.
Peter
P.S Here is for sure orginal one to compare.
On this skull posted by me the right side of the lower jaw (looking back ) is more like almost right angle.
On those skull posted at start is more rounded.
Of course I could be wrong and this is only pisc error and this could be only funny indicator...

To me its an original overhoff!!

[olle]

for me it is fake

the three rows of teeth will be the signature of the imitator to mark his "works of art"?

here a link to another less elaborate, more crude, without the improvement of this fake in this thread , but that I think have more to do with each other than it might seem (it's not the same skull but the same "art").

The question is why two different members in two different threads asking about the same fake skull?
