    Hi

    I have just purchased this German canteen ring, apparently the previous owner got it in Poland. It has a seam next to the skull and no hallmarks. Unsure if it’s an authentic totenkopf canteen ring or a reproduction, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    If I found one of those, real or fake, I'd honestly melt it. Or just pitch it. I'm not a psychic or close, but dang that thing stinks of nastiness.

    It was a very reasonable price, probably cursed or something that’s why it was so cheap
