WW2 German M1/24 Overhoff SS Cap Skull
An SS Cap Skull in near mint condition made by Overhoff of Ludenscheid. The skull is made out of “CupAl”, a copper coated aluminum metal. CupAl base metal was used for SS cap insignia mostly during the pre-war years of the late 1930’s. The quality of a CupAl made SS Cap Skull is far superior in every sense to the later made zinc base metal examples. The prongs are securely crimped in place, and then soldered, as usually seen on Overhoff made CupAl SS Cap Skulls. The right prong appears to have been repaired. The prongs are made of Tombak (Brass). Maker mark “M1/24”, a well as the RZM Logo in raised relief. Good condition.
