SKULL looks good but do not know if folding tangs are intact. If so ask around 500.00 for a quick sell

Thanks Robert. My eyes are blurry from staring @ the pics.
Seems the prongs are always an issue with fakers.
Reddicks repros sell for $10.00, this seems a good copy, if indeed one of his products.
Cheers, Pauli

I did not see the reverse of this TK before I made a call and note the square recess for the tangs which is the red flag here as known originals have a rounded tang attachment. I did find this same TK which was still out for research. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.co...php?searchid=2327575. this is not a cheap reddick and may be good PAUL

Hello,
Im the owner of this piece and it seems to be hotly debated.. Cool. Which is the reason I put it here so all could see and comment.
The only thing I can add is the color is off from the flash but as far as constrution I cant chime in. It is a bit darker in person.
It would be great to get to the bottom of it.

A real example would not have the grainy reverse but very smooth as these were die struck.

These aren't a minefield, they're Russian roulette with only one EMPTY chamber.  (Not for the faint of heart, or novice.)

I have one that has identical details on the reverse (same MM, grainy surface), except the prongs were part of the edge stamping. I bought it around 1975 from WWII Inc. for $5.
I'll see if I can still find it.
Cheers,
Stephen

I guess my link above did not work but for you who can access WA forum do search m1/52 and you will get a great lot of information on this.
