This is a standard Assmann product (SS maker code marked), not to be confused with the Hungarian copies. This design was introduced in 1931 and pioneered by Overhoff & Co, later produced by other makers. This is a combat example, made of die-struck steel; the earlier examples being of either nickel finish or aluminium.

This dangerous fake would deceive many collectors. The cap is a genuine Coastal Artillery item; the soutache and the badges have all been added to 'create' a more interesting commercial prospect! The skull badge is certainly bogus and the eagle is not totally convincing, but might still be OK.
