    Early SS skull - review

    Hi guys I posted this at the wrong section so I will give it another try here.

    Any thoughts about it. What I gathered it could be an early SS skull , or possibly a
    a traditions cap badge for Heer 5.Kavallerie-Regiment. (thanks longislandercjv)

    Best regards

      In my opinion skull could be not orginal.
      Strange type of alloy for this type of skull ,some not gut details and not so natural patina.
      This type of skulls were offten used by early SS units till 1934
      But later they are were also visible on Allgemaine SS caps.
      Of course I could be wrong because my opinion is based only on this pics.

          i think they are ok...the back edge and around eye socket look die struck. looks like silver washed at one time. would have to have in hand to compare to a few known originals..

                Of course die struck fakes exist.
                Here is mine home garden groving (for fake patin) FAKE danziger type skull.
                Ive posted this skull previously here.
                Pls check suturae cranii of your skull
                They should be made very precious.
                Should be visible on front and back of the skull. Weight is not important
