<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 12331176, member: 20148&quot;]Looking at the photos, I would say that it is a reproduction. The form is crude, as is that casting seam beside the skull. I have never seen one with this type of skull either. The originals that I have seen are of much better quality, though that said, as the war progressed and things turned bad for the nazi&#039;s, the quality would have dropped, probably dramatically. An original would usually have the recipients name hand engraved and a date inside too.</p><p>As Davey has said, there are lots of copies of these about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do understand peoples horror at such items, but personally, I think it is a period that must be remebered and not forgotten.&nbsp; So, that said, if one has one of these, or any other tiems from the Third Reich, I hope it is for the right reasons.&nbsp; For myself, I once collected daggers from the Third Reich, but definitely not for their poliical connection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
