After biting the bullet on a bargain "Honor ring", I found a couple of "brothers" that will jump- start my collection of authentic WW2.

I hope I am wrong, but I have concerns about your Overhoff skull based on a couple things I see in these photos. Would it be possible to get larger, higher resolution images?

Thanks for your input Brad. I thought this was an "Overhoff". The dealer has/had several other pieces, very period, and very interesting , This was what I could afford at the time. I will be going back to him this week-end to see what other goodies he has come across!?

Based on these pictures, that skull would not be for me.

Nice BeVo, though.

I have a couple of hundred in the pair, how did I do? Overhoff, was it an earlier model? I know that he is not "mint", but he is loved for the character he does possess. Any suggestions as to what if any oil he might like a "sip" of? (corrosion, as with rust, never sleeps}

We are trying to tell you that we believe the skull to be a reproduction of an Overhoff. However, the BeVo TK is original and, if it only cost you a couple hundred, it was quite a bargain.
