Title Fake SS cap skull and eagle
Nationality German?
Period c 1980/90

The eagle is a poor quality copy, which, on close examination, shows the characteristic pimpling, evidence of electroform construction, a process used on the originals. The skull is better, but the presence of raised SS runes on the reverse condemns it - the originals never had this detail. Also, the format of the skull eye sockets is incorrect.

testimonials

I have in the last six months inherited my late father Alan Swain's police memorabilia collection along with much paperwork receipts etc. I would like to pass on to you my thanks for such good dealership with my father going back to the late 80s and well into the 1990s.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
