2nd pattern SS cap skull, good or bad?

[M. Lupus]

Gents,

Is this skull good or bad? Manufacturer: RZM 1/52. hight: approx. 2.9 cm, wide: 3.0 cm.

I had the skull for sale, but someone had some doubts.

Material looks zink with a silver finish.

Can't get a good photograph from the maker mark. If needed I can post a better photo this saturday.

Looking forward to see your options!

Hello! It looks to be close to a moustache fake.
The 5 and 2 in 52 are not on even level.
I would say it is a reproduction.:thumbdown:

I am sorry,

:thumbdown: Sorry, 100% fake. As said a 'Moustachio' fake Deschler.

Mattieu, Raymond posted a very nice Original Deschler Here ► http://worldwarmilitaria.com/forum/showthread.php?t=785
You will see the big differences between your Repro and the Original from this maker., as well as many other SS cap badges on that thread.

See these enclosures as a contrast to the fake above. Thanks to Kevin Finley, Bruce Herman, Bill Shea, and Brian Maederer for the images attached here.

Gent's,

I must say I was a bit surprise that the skull was a repro. Didn't pay much for it, so it's not a problem for me.
Many thanks for your expertise.:thumbup1:
