Hi

I would like to have your educated opinion on this one. I don't see any immediate red flags but i'm poor on these. The RZM-tag looks very new for a used tag. Better photos provided if needed.

Thanks in advance,

Br. Juergen

Juergen, that 'wide' weave buckram stiffener is a huge red flag..

Ok, I guess that nailed it. Maybe made in US in the 70s? My friend has had it maybe 20 years so it can't be a recent fake.

A big thanks for you!

A poorly detailed skull. May I concur that the bukram is not consistant with that found on known original period examples.
