Freikorps skull? Authentic?

Is this a Freikorps skull? Is it authentic? From a stickpin? Thanks

Supposedly, these are pins worn by former members of the Iron Division. I doubt this very much, as there is a very specific enameled pin with a skull and the words "Und Doch" worn by vets of the Iron Division.

These skull pins have also been attributed to WWII Panzer troops. They could also be some fraternal society and not military at all.

A variety of generic skull pins were sold in the post WWI period. So, honestly, I think it's hard to know, as I don't think there's any documentation that identifies this pin specifically.

Thank you.
