Skull

I have what I believe may well be a Freikorps Skull, any one seen such an item before, in any period foto? Or any info appreciated, an image can be found on my home page at :-



Thanks in advance, Martin

Not Freikorps. No Freikorps skull looks like that. Also, it has a swastika on it. No Freikorps badge has a swastika on it.

It's in the style of the Brunswick Hussars busby badge, so maybe some sort of tradition badge or regimental commemorative.

You mean the skull over the SS skull, right?

Skull looks like a Husaren busby skull, but no Brunswick. Danziger Leibhusaren.

But if I compare it with the SS skull, the dimensions look strange. Are both skulls in one photo or are there two photos of the different skulls?

What are the dimensions of that skull?

Never seen one with swastika. But who knows? The Freikorps theme was still very popular after 1933. Books, movies etc.

PS: There were many unusual items out there....
