Default Re: Is this a real

Hi Hugh........1934 pattern Totenkopf were silver plated die struck out of tombak and silver plated with a hallmark RZM M1/52 this is the code for Deschler & Sohn, Munchen. From 1936 the Totenkoph was struck in aluminum then zinc alloyed and the new code numbers were replaced with SS/RZM contract numbers, this info was taken from Detecting the fakes by Robin Lumsden.hope this helps Leo
